these are amusing stories,
“From our research, we think Nibiru will appear in December and pass over at the end of April. What year? We already guessed 2015 (obviously wrong). So maybe 2020, 2021?”
But regardless of the extreme risk in 2011 I still pre-ordered a rare silver 2012 Mayan calendar, Fortunately most survived.

“An object called WISE 0855-0714 is below freezing”
below freezing what where?
To: Red Badger
As the universe ages, supernovas spit out lots of heavier elements such as carbon and oxygen — what astronomers call “metals.” Oxygen is a metal? News to me.

Regardless of what I stated, I take no position as regards “Niburu”.
My statement is no more than my speculation of a type of possible “planet” “formation”.
It merely rejects the idea that “all” “planets” MUST be formed (or receive their material) in the initial formation of a solar system (which the main theories believe happens in the cooling of the pre-solar swirling “solar disc”). That theory also speculates as to why most of our solar system has rocky & or rocky + molten cores (heavier for their size) and the majority of the outer planets are gas giants (the gases would have been in greater abundance in the outer reaches of an early solar disc).
I am merely speculating that “capture” might be another means for a star to acquire planets; but that is all I am thinking.

Quite a fall from grace. Potentially emotionally devastating for the poor dimlit.
