Nibiru
Mythical rogue world
Nibiru is a hypothetical planet in fringe astronomy and conspiracy theories, often claimed to be on a collision course with Earth or hidden from public knowledge by governments.
The idea originated from misreadings of ancient Sumerian texts and gained traction in apocalyptic predictions, particularly around 2012.
No scientific evidence supports its existence: The Nibiru doomsday prediction came and went without incident.
