A MYSTERIOUS planet that wiped out life on Earth millions of years 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.

Evidence of a Ninth Planet
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 towards Earth.
Fossil evidence has suggested most of life on Earth is mysteriously wiped out every 26 to 27 million years.
Professor Whitmire claims Planet Nine's passage through a rock laden area called the Kuiper Belt is responsible for the "extinction events".

Consiracy theorists in the 80s and 90s previously claimed a red dwarf planet called Nibiru or Nemesis, which orbits too close to Earth every 36,000 years, was behind the events.
Now some are convinced there will be a collision or a near miss before the end of April.
Nemesis or Nibiru were widely dismissed as crack-pot pseudo-science – until Planet Nine was identified in January by the California Institute of Technology, in the US.

I do like how this planet is 'wiping out life every 27 million years', is that how old evolution is now? :) Shouldn't we then be Amoeba?

Sounds as if Daniel Whitmire could do with spending a bit less time in the pub before speaking to the media. : )

it will never happen - no human can say for sure what happened millions of years ago - it is all guess work - this professor nut should write science fiction because that is all it is - they make it up as they go along to fit their huge egos.....................

Considering how long the earth as been around and the fact previous hits have happened its probably a certainty that it will happen again.
Space is a big place the've no idea what is floating around out there.
