A mysterious planet that wiped out life on Earth millions of years ago could do it again, according to a top space scientist.

And some believe the apocalyptic event could happen as early as this month.

Planet Nine — a new planet discovered at the edge of the solar system in January — has triggered comet showers that bomb the Earth’s surface, killing all life, says Daniel Whitmire, of the University of Louisiana.

The astrophysicist says the planet has a 20,000-year orbit around the sun and, at its closest to us, it knocks asteroids and comets toward Earth.

Fossil evidence has suggested most life on Earth is mysteriously wiped out every 26 million to 27 million years.

Nemesis or Nibiru was widely dismissed as crackpot pseudo-science — until Planet Nine was identified in January by the California Institute of Technology.

I guess we’ll never find out who Negan killed.

Well, such orbital events are highly calculable, so what’s the exact date?

Would be a great bet as when it doesn’t happen, you win. If it does then nobody will be around to collect.

I've seen pictures of Pluto but none of this new "planet".

It sounds more like a Death Star.

... not unless these blood thirsty comets and asteroids posses warp drive engines. So-called Planet nine has an orbit ranging from 200 AU to 1200 AU from the sun. Think in terms of THOUSANDS of years for comets to reach the inner solar system from those distances.

If slimy Hillary manages to ooze her way into the WH
next Jan. 20th would be a good day for Planet X to strike.

We still don’t know who killed JFK.

I have my suspicions, though.

"a top space scientist"

Is there also a bottom space scientist?

My daughter wants to know for sure because it’s 1:16am here and she’s just finishing her homework. She won’t bother anymore if we’re all going to die soon.
