Elinin. Planet X is the eleventh planet of our solar system. It is as big as many Earths, dwarfing it perhaps even hundreds of times. People think Planet X isn’t even a real planet, but a `brown dwarf’: a massive ball of dust and gas that almost succeeded in becoming a star. Planet X has something no other planet has: a huge orbit. Its orbit around the Sun lasts 3,600 years. Most of the time, it is far off, invisible to the eye. But every 3,600 years, the lost planet returns. Once here, it accelerates, and swings close past the Sun, disrupting everything it encounters.
And that is exactly what Planet X is about to do, according to recent events and underground chatter. Right now, Planet X is entering the outer regions of the solar system, still invisible to civilian telescopes.
But it will suddenly make its appearance. It will be some event. Within months, Planet X will reach the inner regions of the solar system, disturbing the eclipses of the planets and bombarding us with comets. In 2012, it will pass Earth, missing it only at a few hairs’ lengths. Or, well: hitting us at full force, perhaps.
