Astronomers have NOT kept secret the discovery of planet Nibiru

In yesterday’s post, I quoted NASA astrobiologist David Morrison as saying that astronomers would not keep secret the discovery of a new planet such as Nibiru, because, “astronomers of the world, both professional and amateur, are a free-spirited group who couldn’t keep a secret even if ordered to,…”

I’d have to agree with Dr. Morrison. You have to remember that many astronomers, both professional and amateur, are looking for new planets in the night sky.

You can imagine that if you found a new planet, you would want the world to know before one of the other astronomers scanning the night skies for new planets found it and claimed the discovery.

Therefore, not only do astronomers reveal whatever they find, they try to publish the information as soon as possible so they can be the first on record as finding it.

If Nibiru had been found, whoever had found it would let the world know they had found it. Nibiru is supposed to be a portent of the 2012 doomsday.

In conclusion, astronomers have not kept secret the discovery of planet Nibiru, because it has not appeared, except in books about the theory of the return of planet Nibiru.
