Astronomers claim discovery of 10th planet in solar system
Outlook ^ | July 30,2005 | AFP

Posted on 07/30/2005 12:09:55 AM PDT by Srirangan

A US astronomer has said he had discovered a 10th planet in the outer reaches of the solar system that could force a redrawing the astronomical map.

If confirmed, the discovery yesterday by Mike Brown of the respected California Institute of Technology would be the first of a planet since Pluto was identified in 1930 and shatter the notion that nine planets circle the sun.

"Get out your pens. Start re-writing textbooks today," said Brown, a professor of planetary astronomy, announcing what he called "the 10th planet of the solar system," one that is larger than Pluto.

"It's the farthest object ever discovered to orbit around the sun," Brown said in a conference call of the planet that is covered in methane ice and lies nearly 15 billion kilometers (nine billion miles) from Earth.

"I'd say it's probably one and a half times the size of Pluto," he said from CalTech, based in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, referring to what until now has been the most distant planet in earth's solar system.

Currently about 97 times further from the sun than the Earth, the celestial body tentatively called "2003-UB313" is the farthest known object in the solar system, and the third brightest of the Kuiper belt objects.

It is a typical member of the Kuiper belt, but its sheer size in relation to the nine known planets means that it can only be classified as a planet, Brown said.

The astronomer conceded he and his team did not know the exact size of the new planet, but its brightness and distance tell them that it is at least as large as Pluto, which measures 2,302 km in diameter.

The size of an object in the solar system object can be inferred by its brightness, just as the size of a faraway light bulb can be calculated if one knows its wattage, he explained.

"We are 100 per cent confident that this is the first object bigger than Pluto ever found in the outer solar system."

But Brown conceded that the discovery would likely rekindle debate over the definition of the term "planet" and whether Pluto should still be regarded as one.

Critics have long questioned whether Pluto, which resembles objects in the Kuiper belt, is actually a planet.

Brown discovered what could be a new addition to the universe known to man along with colleagues Chad Trujillo, of the Gemini Observatory in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and David Rabinowitz, of Yale University, on January 8.

The planet was first spotted on October 31, 2003 with the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego, California.

But it was so far away that its motion was not detected until the scientists reanalysed the data earlier this year, Brown said.

The astronomers have proposed a name for the "planet" to the science's governing body, the International Astronomical Union, and are awaiting the decision of this body before announcing it.

The planet has not been noticed previously because its orbit is at a 45 degree angle to the rest of the solar system, he said.

"We found it because we've looked everywhere else. Nobody looks way up that high. It's tilted way out of plane," he added.

The guy that calls himself the bad astronomer was on C2CAM last night. Apparently, the Spanish team made an
announcement, and the California team had to jump on the band wagon...and the result was announcements that totalled
3 "new" objects. One's bigger than Pluto, one's smaller, and I don't know about the third.

So, it depends on what announcement and object(s) you're talking about.

Why not run a world-wide contest to name any new planets?
Wait.......
A distant planet....and here we have all these people who need deporting? Coincidence?
I don't think so!

Opinions vary. It depends how you look at it, from what point of view you are coming from, to what astronomical society you belong. Is it one of the objects that looks like a star except it moves in the sky and influences our personalities and the coming events of the state? They don't even agree that Jupiter should be a planet or that the largest asteroids should not.

Yeah. Jupiter might yet light off. They should restrict the term 'planet' to those celestial objects that move with purpose. Signs and portents. Comets for special announcements.

March 2004 - A 10th Planet was named this month - Sedna after the Inuit Goddess of the Oceans.

A planet named Nibiru - Planet X - was thought by many people to be returning in the 21st century - but in truth Nibiru will not return but another planet - known as 'The 10th Planet will be found and named signaling the end of the old and the beginning of the new. [metaphors] Astronomers detect '10th planet' BBC - July 30, 2005

Nibiru is a metaphoric trigger for awakening to a higher consciousness that something is about to occur - but it a shift in consciousness not the return of a plant. The 'X' = As is Above So is Below - Emerald Tablets of Thoth. It is the merge of matter and antimatter. It is the merge of the polar apsects of your soul at which time you become One. Please see related files in my archives Scroll down to articles 'Zero Point'.

Nibiru Myth.....It is allegedly the home of the Anunnaki - the Nephilim - the Elohim - the Gods - the Giants of the Bible - Those Who From Heaven To Earth Came. Some believe they are a Reptilian Race.

The Dogon Tribe of Mali, Africa also have a legend about a race of Amphibious Gods - Nommos - who came to Earth from Sirius approximately five thousand years ago.

The Nibiruans allegedly landed on Earth, colonized it, mining the Earth for gold - [metaphor for alchemy - the transmutation of consciousness] - and other minerals, who establishing a spaceport in what today is the Iraq-Iran region - [Interesting that we went to war in that area] - linked to Sumer - and lived in a kind of idealistic society as a small colony. These aliens allegedly created a human slave-race to work their mines, farms, and other enterprises. They allegedly created Man, Homo Sapiens, through genetic manipulation with themselves and ape man Homo Erectus.

The Great Flood allegedly was an attempt to destroy the slave races of humanity by the Nibiruans because they had rebelled against their Nibiruian / Sumerian Gods - Enlil and Enki. Enlil and Enki were involved in a heated dispute over whether to destroy or preserve the slave races and this power struggle resulted in war - the dualty of our reality - which exists in all creational myths.

Ellie's Interpretation:

There is a central source of creation. Some people see it as Light, other see it as a simulation room where programs are created - as in the movies matrix or the Holodeck in the TV and movies shows Star Trek.

This source of light divides into 12 pyramids of light. They spiral around the central source and create a Matrix - Grid System - The Spider Web Effect - Hall of Records - Akashic Record - Collective Unconscious - whatever term you chose. They create this on many different frequencies - some are physical and some are not. They never stop creating from this source - yet within each story or program created, the patterns must repeat over and over for that is how it creates.

Once the 'computer consciousness' has created these programs - the souls want to experience some of them in a physical body. The computer must now develop a way to do this. It creates programs made of electromagnetic energies - like north and south poles - which mean that this program will have polarities - duality - good guys and bad guys. There will always be conflict. The program will remain unbalanced until it is over.

Souls experiencing any of the physical programs - all of which run simultaneously - such as Earth, Sirius, Nibiru, Orion, Atlantis, etc. - will experience most of the emotions available within the program while they remain in third dimension.

The program understands that the EM energies of third dimension are a lower frequency vibration. They move more slowly - are sluggish. We are of heavier density therefore we can't just move around or biolocate as we are able - when our souls are in faster and higher vibrations. We have to take cars, trains, and planes to go great distances verses bilocating to the place you wish to be. Think about entities on the other side. They can move from where you are to any place else they wish to go in a manner of seconds. Wouldn't you like to have that skill?

Here is another way to understand this concept. Consider your dreams or mediations. You can go anywhere and do anything. Many people remember flying in their dreams - freedom from the physical form.

When you wake up - returning your consciousness to your physical body - you generally forget most of your dreams. As you feel yourself 'falling' back into your physical body you slowly awaken. This is your consciousness moving descending into 3D. There are days you may not feel your consciousness completely back in your body at all. Actually it is never fully in third dimension. Only an aspect of it is here as you sit there reading this. The rest of you is off having other experiences - which - as we move into higher frequency - are starting to merge - more deja vu - seeing between dimensions - temporal amonalies - and more paranormal experiences.

Sometimes an entire programs shifts all at once. This occurred on September 11, 2001 with the World Trade Center attack. For days, weeks, months, people were in shock and unable to come fully into their bodies - bringing their conscious awareness into this changed frequency program.

Our grid program - coming from one central source - follows a specific blueprint which repeats over and over again endlessly. Fractal Theory. The creative consciousness - source of light - creates program after program based on the same fundamental geometry called Sacred Geometry.

We live in third dimension - the polarity grid - EM energies - our auras. Everything in this program will contain polar opposites. We have god and evil - male and female - good gods and bad gods - everything has an opposite. Our Twin Flames are part of that duality. Your polar opposite in the other aspect of your soul that did not enter into the third dimensional program but waits above in higher frequency.

The program has an interesting failsafe. It understands that in third dimension the souls will forget that it is all a program/ game/ experience/ experiment. It realizes that it must leave clues to help the souls in third dimension remember that they are spirits having a physical experience.

The program creates Archetypes and Metaphors which enable souls to awaken and remember that one program is about to terminate and another germinate. More to the point - the souls remove their consciousness from their physical bodies and go to higher frequency forms. You are much more than the person sitting in that chair reading this. You are a soul spark created from a source of light who has spiraled through consciousness into third dimension to experience.

You are aware that psychics like myself and my friend, John Edward, can talk to souls who have crossed over, simply by connecting with their frequency signatures. Every soul has their one unique signature - like a fingerprint. The soul 'on the other side' has the same signature but is no longer is in a physical body.

So now comes the time in our programmed reality when the grids send us information to help us remember that change is about to occur for all souls. It provides clues.

One such clue is the planet Nibiru.

Time is just an illusion created by the EM programs of 3D. Planet 'X' - when you drawn horizontal lines across the top and bottm of the 'X' you have the hourglass. When the upper portion descends into the lower portion - it creates the Star of David - or Merkabah - rotation and spin - frequency. 'X' also is the Roman numeral 10=1+0=1=New Beginnings.

I have been to Nibiru alone - and with friends - while remote viewing. When you remote view - or meditate - travel consciously through the grids - you move faster than the speed of light and can go into any part of the program.

Light - electricity - is the color BLUE. It is electromagnetic energy which spiral us into third dimension and which is connected with our leaving this program. That is why most prophecies reference the color BLUE. The blue I see is now navy BLUE.

Nibiruan returns every 3,600 years. Creational geometry - 12X3=36. Also 12 pyramids around 1 that form the grids. Pyramids - three into one.

Sumerians said one year on planet Nibiru, a sar, was equivalent in time to 3,600 Earth years. They also said Anunnaki lifespans were 120 sars which is 120 x 3600 or 432,000 years. According to the King List 120 sars had passed from the time the Anunnaki arrived on Earth to the time of the Flood. However when the Lofty Ones came to Earth their lifespans began to sync with Earth's faster orbit and they faced rapid aging compared to that on Nibiru. Einstein's theory of General Relativity says celestial body gravity and motion warps local space/time. They discovered that by eating food from their home planet they could keep the aging process synced to the pace of Nibiru.

We always have good and bad gods in all creational myths. This again is the polarity. It heightens the emotions of FEAR - a Key negative emotion of the program - verses LOVE. Everyone is taking about the LOVE frequency on the planet now - as the way HOME - back to Source - whatever - so the program kicks in fear.

This FEAR factor played out at the end of the 20th century when so many people felt that the planet would blow up. That never happened because it is not part of the program. The timing for things to end is close but not in 1999 or 2000 or 2012.

Yet all of the prophets through the millennia - did pick up the same information from the grid program - they interpreted what they saw in different ways based on their own spiritual, mental and emotional belief systems. They sensed the change and the end of this program.

Why do all programs have to end with destruction? In third dimension there is a beginning and an end - Zero Point of creation.

As the program is about emotions - it will play out with the giant BOOM? We always envision a dramatic end of our reality. Isn't that how we view the fall of Atlantis, Lemuria, and most ancient civilizations? They all allegedly ended in disaster - yet they are running parallel to our reality.

Disasters shake conscousness loose from the 3D grid.

Many people sense this at the end of our own program. BOOM! It's over! Are you harmed? Part of our third dimensional programming tells us that you must hold onto your physical body at all costs. Why?

Third dimensional programs seek to raise our emotional level to the max - The FEAR Factor - which has become part of our TV viewing. After all that IS what we are here for, right? What good is your emotional experience here if you do not have issues to deal with, then to heal, etc. Souls are most often dysfunctional as they play our their games.

2000 came and went without major incident. This was a relief after 1999 and a rest for the souls. Along came 2001 and the program shifted from good to bad - as that is what it is programmed to do. hence we had 911

A good economy had to change to a bad economy in the polarity of our 3D experience - the cycles of time. Peace and war- polarities are inevitable. So along comes 911 and we experienced FEAR - of the unknown - our souls sensed something coming closer . . . FEAR Factor . . . shock. Many souls did not fully return to the third dimensional Earth program when they woke up the next day - and for many days afyerwards. We waited and watched - knowing 911 was the beginning of something- but it was not time.

At the end of this experiment in Time - we will disconnect our awareness from third dimension and not return. September 11th was like a practice drill that permeated the grids and effected every soul in this program. It was like a charge of energy moving through the grids. If you can see grids - you would see what appears as tall spikes - as in a graph. 911 was a wake-up call.

At the time of 911 - we played with the numbers are triggers. People report seeing double and triple digits more and more frequently. 11:11 is an example of such a numeric trigger. Numbers are key codes is a mathematical program.

2001 brought the evnets of 911. 2002 brought war with Afghanistan. 2003 brough war with Iraq. 2003 is a grid marker for the Philadelphia Experiment. The Navy ship the USS Eldridge supposedly disappeared August 12, 1943. The time loops - 1963 - 1983 - 2003. The energies are spiking on the grid - but we will not destroy the planet as the game is not over just yet. Nibirun will not return not will the Reptilians.

Other FEAR factors include Earth changes involving mass destruction of the planet. Physical planet Earth 'rocks' and always has upheavals. There will always be volcanic eruptions and major earthquakes. Everything in this program is like the flow of water - ever moving and never the same. People who believe they are here for the Earth changes - tell me that planet Earth has been wiped out and recreated many times. This is about other grid programs running simultaneous to ours. As for major Earth changes - do you think you are capable of existing on a planet that has no clean air, water, food, diseases? Do you really want to rebuild? How long would you survive? If you see yourself doing this - what are your motivations?

The Nibiruan myth speaks of alien gods returning for gold. Gold is a metaphor for alchemy - a transition from third dimensional thinking to higher frequency awareness.

The Twelfth Planet - Numeric references to the number Key Number 12 - as in 12:12 - as in the illusion of Time. Planet X - The merge of twins - as in Twin Pyramids and Twin Towers.

The Gods and Goddess of Nibiru are not much different that those of an other ancient civilization - good and evil. Why do all god and goddesses have issues? They repeat the patterns of our lives in third dimension. We look at the gods and wonder. In our timeline can you image Zeus in the sky with his pantheon of weird dysfunctional gods and goddesses intervening on Earth?

Can you imagine aliens coming back here on the planetoid Nibiru - who some people think is a Mother Ship - for our gold? It makes no sense. The story of a planet in trouble - unable to support life - is also a pattern in the grid program.

Metaphor - Nibiru - unlike the other planets in our solar system - supposedly has an elliptical orbit and moves clockwise rather than counterclockwise.' This is how we spiral our consciousness in and out of reality.

My grid travel to Nibiru did reveal other alien groups on the planetoid beside the Reptilians. They all seem to have their own agendas. These different groupings seem wrong to me though I am not sure why I write this. When I worked with Jelalila of the Nibiru Council we channeled her twin flame on Nibiru. She calls him Daniel. I had met him before. He was humanoid looking to me. He was working at a massive computer. He told me that he runs the computer for the program. [He kind of reminded me of OZ in the 'WiZard of OZ'.] His name is a metaphor for Daniel the Lion - or the Sphinx and the Lion and lamb symbology, etc.

I wish I could say it was more than a game or program - but that is all it is.

I have also traveled the grid program of the Reptilians - which now takes us to the Draco Program and my buddy Dilmun.

In 1976 Zecharia Sitchin wrote The Twelfth Planet also known as - Planet 'X' or Nibiru.

Nibiru, unlike the other planets in our solar system, allegedly has an elliptical orbit and moves clockwise rather than counterclockwise.

Nibiru's orbit passes through our solar system only once every 3,600 years, which is equal to one Nibiruan year.

This controversial theory is based on Mr. Sitchin's interpretation of ancient Sumerian texts and cuneiform tablets, having its origins in the Bible - the book of Genesis. Mr. Sitchin has spent decades as an archeologist and historian in the Middle East, researching ancient writings from the Sumerian civilization and putting them into a five-part paperback series, The Earth Chronicles, documenting the Nibiruan interaction on Earth in ancient times.

Events Before the Deluge

- Earth Chronicles 

450,000 years ago on Nibiru, a distant member of our solar system, life faced slow extinction as the planet's atmosphere erodes. Deposed by Anu, the ruler Alalu escapes in a spaceship and finds refuge on Earth. He discovers that Earth has gold that can be used to protect Nibiru's atmosphere. 

445,000 years ago - Led by Enki, a son of Anu, the Anunnaki land on Earth, establish Eridu -Earth Station I - for extracting gold from the waters of the Persian Gulf. 

430,000 years ago - Earth's climate mellows. More Anunnaki arrive on Earth, among them Enki's half-sister Ninhursag, Chief Medical Officer. 

416,000 years ago - As gold production falters, Anu arrives on Earth with Enlil, the heir apparent. It is decided to obtain the vital gold by mining it in southern Africa. Drawing lots, Enlil wins command of Earth Mission; Enki is relegated to Africa. On departing Earth, Anu is challenged by Alalu's grandson. 

400,000 years ago - Seven functional settlements in southern Mesopotamia include a Spaceport (Sippar), Mission Control Center (Nippur), a metallurgical center (Shuruppak). The ores arrive by ships from Africa; the refined metal is sent aloft to orbiters manned by Igigi, then transferred to spaceships arriving periodically from Nibiru. 

380,000 years ago - Gaining the support of the Igigi, Alalu's grandson attempts to seize mastery over Earth. The Enlilites win the War of the Olden Gods. 

300,000 years ago - The Anunnaki toiling in the gold mines mutiny. Enki and Ninhursag create Primitive Workers through genetic manipulation of Ape woman; they take over the manual chores of the Anunnaki. Enlil raids the mines, brings the Primitive Workers to the Edin in Mesopotamia. Given the ability to procreate, Homo Sapiens begins to multiply. 

200,000 years ago - Life on Earth regresses during a new glacial period. 

100,000 years ago - Climate warms again. The Anunnaki (the biblical Nephilim), to Enlil's growing annoyance marry the daughters of Man. 

75,000 years ago - A new Ice Age-begins. Regressive types of Man roam the Earth . Cro-Magnon man survives.

49,000 years ago - Enki and Ninhursag elevate humans of Anunnaki parentage to rule in Shuruppak. Enlil, enraged. plots Mankind's demise. 

13,000 years ago - Realizing that the passage of Nibiru in Earth's proximity will trigger an immense tidal wave, Enlil makes the Anunnaki swear to keep the impending calamity a secret from Mankind. 

Events After the Deluge

11,000 years ago - Enki breaks the oath, instructs Ziusudra/Noah to build a submersible ship. The Deluge sweeps over the Earth; the Anunnaki witness the total destruction from their orbiting spacecraft. 

Enlil agrees to grant the remnants of Mankind implements and seeds; agriculture begins in the highlands. Enki domesticates animals. 

10,500 years ago - The descendants of Noah are allotted three regions. Ninurta, Enlil's foremost son, dams the mountains and drains the rivers to make Mesopotamia habitable; Enki reclaims the Nile valley. The Sinai peninsula is retained by the Anunnaki for a post-Diluvial spaceport; a control center is established on Mount Moriah (the future Jerusalem). 

9780 years ago - Ra/Marduk, Enki's firstborn son, divides dominion over Egypt between Osiris and Seth. 

9330 years ago - Seth seizes and dismembers Osiris, assumes sole rule over the Nile Valley. 

8970 years ago - Horus avenges his father Osiris by launching the First Pyramid War. Seth escapes to Asia, seizes the Sinai peninsula and Canaan. 

8670 years ago - Opposed to the resulting control of all the space facilities by Enki's descendants, the Enlilites launch the Second Pyramid War. The victorious Ninurta empties the Great Pyramid of its equipment. 

8600 years ago - Ninhursag, half-sister of Enki and Enlil, convenes peace conference. The division of Earth is reaffirmed. Rule over Egypt transferred from the Ra/Marduk dynasty to that of Thoth. Heliopolis built as a substitute Beacon City. 

8500 years ago - The Anunnaki establish outposts at the gateway to the space facilities; Jericho is one of them. 

7400 As the era of peace continues, the Anunnaki grant Mankind new advances; the Neolithic period begins. Demigods rule over Egypt. 

3800 years ago - Urban civilization begins in Sumer as the Anunnaki re-establish there the Olden Cities, beginning with Eridu and Nippur. 

3700 years ago - Anu comes to Earth for a pageant. A new city, Uruk (Erech), is built in his honor; he makes its temple the abode of his beloved granddaughter Inanna/lshtar. 

Kingship on Earth

3760 years ago - Mankind granted kingship. Kish is first capital under the aegis of Ninurta. The calendar begun at Nippur. Civilization blossoms out in Sumer (the First Region). 

3450 years ago - Primacy in Sumer transferred to Nannar/Sin. Marduk proclaims Babylon "Gateway of the Gods." The "Tower of Babel" incident. The Anunnaki confuses Mankind's languages. His coup frustrated, Marduk/Ra returns to Egypt, deposes Thoth, seizes his younger brother Dummies who had betrothed Inanna. Dummies accidentally killed; Marduk imprisoned alive in the Great Pyramid. Freed through an emergency shaft, he goes into exile. 

3100 years ago - 350 years of chaos end with installation of first Egyptian Pharaoh in Memphis.Civilization comes to the Second Region.

The Fateful Century

2123 B.C - Abraham born in Nippur. 

2113 B.C -Enlil entrusts the Lands of Shem to Nannar; Ur declared capital of new empire. Ur- Nammmu ascends throne, is named Protector of Nippur. A Nippurian priest-Terah, Abraham's father - comes to Ur to liaison with its royal court. 

2096 B.C -Ur-Nammu dies in battle. The people consider his untimely death a betrayal by Anu and Enlil. Terah departs with his family for Harran. 

2095 B.C -Shulgi ascends the throne of Ur, strengthens imperial ties. As empire thrives, Shulgi falls under charms of Inanna, becomes her lover. Grants Larsa to Elamites in exchange for serving as his Foreign Legion. 

2080 B.C -Theban princes loyal to Ra/Marduk press northward under Mentuhotep I. Nabu, Marduk's son, gains adherents for his father in Western Asia. 

2055 B.C -On Nannar's orders, Shulgi sends Elamite troops to suppress unrest in Canaanite cities. Elamites reach the gateway to the Sinai peninsula and its Spaceport. 

2048B.C - Shulgi dies. Marduk moves to the Land of the Hittites. Abraham ordered to southern Canaan with an elite corps of cavalrymen. 

2047 B.C -Amar-Sin (the biblical Amraphel) becomes king of Ur. Abraham goes to Egypt, stays five years, then returns with more troops. 

2041 B.C -Guided by Inanna, Amar-Sin forms a coalition of Kings of the East, launches military expedition to Canaan and the Sinai. Its leader is the Elamite Khedor-la'omer. Abraham blocks the advance at the gateway to the Spaceport. 

2038 B.C -Shu-Sin replaces Amar-Sin on throne of Ur as the empire disintegrates. 

2029 B.C -Ibbi-Sin replaces Shu-Sin. The western provinces increasingly to Marduk. 

2024 B.C -Leading his followers, Marduk marches on Sumer, enthrones himself in Babylon. Fighting spreads to central Mesopotamia. Nippur's Holy of Holies is defiled. Enlil demands punishment for Marduk and Nabu; Enki opposes, but his son Nergal sides with Enlil. As Nabu marshals his Canaanite followers to capture the Spaceport, the Great Anunnaki approve of the use of nuclear weapons. Nergal and Ninurta destroy the Spaceport and the errant Canaanite cities. 

2023 B.C -The winds carry the radioactive cloud to Sumer. People die a terrible death, animals perish, the water is poisoned, the soil becomes barren. Sumer and its great civilization lie prostrate. Its legacy passes to Abraham's seed as he begets -at age 100- a legitimate heir: Isaac.
