Renowned astrophysicist Carl Sagan once described a "baloney detection kit" — a set of tools that skeptical thinkers use to investigate any new concept. A few of the key tools include a healthy distrust of information that isn't independently verified, critically assessing an idea rather than becoming irrationally attached to it simply because it's intriguing, and a preference for simple explanations over wildly speculative ones.
Morrison estimates that there are 2 million websites discussing the impending Nibiru-Earth collision. He receives, on average, five email inquiries about Nibiru every day.
"At least a once a week I get a message from a young person — as young as 11 — who says they are ill and/or contemplating suicide because of the coming doomsday," Morrison told Life's Little Mysteries, a sister site to SPACE.com.
Do you believe Nibiru(Some Claim Elenin is Nibiru Now) That they and/or it is going to collide into Earth or just swing by and cause chaos when it aligns and/or when it brings death and destruction and/or planetary/asteroidal/cometary/moons? with it that may hit Earth and cause havoc.
LOL, you beat me to it I was reaing the same thing. What caught my eye about this article was:
When scientists pointed out that the comet is a mere 3-mile-wide glob of ice with no magnetic field and that it won't even pass very near Earth — and that plate tectonics, not comets, cause earthquakes — rumors began to circulate that NASA was withholding information about Elenin.

3 mile wide so why cant anyone see this yet if they know the size already???? Where is it?

Wait, what is this nibiru and elenin you speak of, this is the first I'm hearing of these two objects. I'd assume there would already be at least a thread on this here.
Oh wait, there's about 600 million.
But the Main Topic would and as is The Collision of Comet/Elenin Nibiru and/or Planetary Bodies(most likely Earth) In our Solar system
nibiru? nope, completely made up, anyone who actually researches it will find most of the claims of ancient civilizations mention it are made up as well.
Elenin? It's a smallish comet that will pass by harmlessly like most other comets. it's not getting much attention outside of outlandish youtube videos, because it's simply no big deal.
The threat elenin poses is slight, it could potentially bring some material with it that could cause issues for satellites and the ISS. That's about the extent of the risk and even then, it's a rather low risk compared to other things.
Hell we had an object pass so close to earth recently it was below our satellites. No one predicted that one, no earth shattering, solar system destroying, mayhem ensued.
People seriously need to use critical thinking when it comes to this stuff. Simple physics tell you not to worry.
If an object expects to have any real impact on earth, it must have a huge mass. For this to be true, we'd be able to detect the effects that object is having on other bodies in the solar system. For an object to have an impact other than gravity, it requires a magnetic field, which it doesn't have because it is ice.
Lets get back to nibiru. So people claim it's a brown dwarf, so we can't see it. Except that's a complete load of crap that anyone with access to google can debunk. There are various ways to detect a brown dwarf, even before it has an impact on other objects in the solar system.
Objects outside our solar system, when it comes to gravity, basically don't exist to us. Nothing outside the solar system can defeat the mass of the sun when it comes to gravity in the solar system. To have an impact on earth, and tectonically specifically, it would have to be massive, in mass and size, blotting out the sky.
Beyond that, if this object is approaching, and is causing quakes, they should be more active, stronger, and random, as it approaches. This doesn't appear to be the case, regardless of what the fear mongers here, with no knowledge of the subject, will tell you.
Correlation isn't causation, and there isn't any correlation to begin with!
Constant updates have been posted in Puterman's thread as to its current location as well as updates to its perihelion and closest approach to Earth. There are also a number of threads where pictures taken by amateur astronomers have been taken.
Nice thread.. I appreciate it when someone puts in some hard work and research.. Makes a nice change to a one liner and link/video..
It's just a shame you have picked a subject that has been covered here a million time before..
With that i look forward to discussing with those of ATS on these matters whether or not.

I know i have said things and i actually used to think of it crazy to believe such things in the past and/or vehemently defended that it won't happen but i am now willing to leave the possibility of it being plausible open.
If this object is harmless and small where are the NASA photos?
They aren't releasing current photos, just press releases of emergency preparedness.
This object passes between earth and the sun Sept. 26, 27, 28. In Exodus there is mention of three days of darkness.
This is less than 80 days away from today.
NASA may have run out of digital film. Possibly they left the lens caps on their telescopes.
So, there are no current pictures. (I fixed my A/C. Thank God. Time for a nap.)
