Excellent NASA video on End of the World 2012 and Planet X Nibiru
One of my main motivating reasons for making the End of the World 2012 Movie, Book, and EBook is my concern that many people truly believe that the Mayan prophecies say the world is going to end on December 21, 2012. I set out to find out the truth about the Mayan Calendar and the 2012 prophecy.
NASA is also concerned. According to NASA senior scientist David Morrison, he says that:
he gets messages from young people as often as once a week, some of them saying they’re so scared they’ve contemplated suicide.
US government asks people to calm down, says the world isn’t ending on December 21st
Please check out the excellent video at the above link which is on Yahoo! News Canada in which Morrison debunks the “fantasy” books on Planet X Nibiru with scientific fact.

The Kepler Space Telescope may find Planet-X also known as Nibiru, that is, if it actually exists. Nibiru is supposed to be connected with the 2012 end of the world Mayan prophecies. As it is, Kepler is find many potential planets. A February 3, 2011 New York Times article says:
NASA’s Kepler is a $600 million satellite telescope that monitors the stars. Its job is to conduct a kind of Gallup poll of worlds in the cosmos.
On Feb. 3, 2011, in a long-awaited announcement, Kepler scientists reported that they had identified 1,235 possible planets orbiting other stars, potentially tripling the number of known planets.
Of the new candidates, 68 are one and a quarter times the size of the Earth or smaller — smaller, that is, than any previously discovered planets outside the solar system, which are known as exoplanets. Fifty-four of the possible exoplanets are in the so-called habitable zones of stars dimmer and cooler than the Sun, where temperatures should be moderate enough for liquid water.about the Kepler space telescope that is finding planets:

This illustrated graphic shows the two newfound Kepler-20 planets shown to scale with Earth and Venus.
Continuing with my quest to find if NASA, astronomers, and other planet discoverers and enthusiastically sharing their findings of new planets with the world or keeping them secret. I am motivated to research these discoveries, because people I know have become so wrapped up in the 2012 / end of the world / Nibiru mania that they actually believe there is a conspiracy to keep secret the discovery of one very special planet, Nibiru, that supposedly carries aliens who have been on earth before.
My experience with amateur astronomers and professional scientists is that they want to publish their discoveries as soon as possible so that someone else does not get the credit for their discovery. They do not keep their discoveries secret.
Above, find artist’s impressions of what these two newly discovered planets, the first ever found that are about the same size as earth, might look like. They are not photographs. These planets are 15,000 light years away where no earth satellite and therefore, no camera has ever gone before. The image was created through cooperation between NASA/JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratories)), Cal Tech (California Institute of Technology) and T. Pyle (probably the artist).
New planets are discovered by the following process:
To discover the new planets, Fressin and his colleagues used NASA’s Kepler space telescope, which noticed the tiny dips in the parent star’s brightness when the planets passed in front of it, blocking some of its light (this is called the transit method). The researchers then used ground-based observatories to confirm that the planets actually exist by measuring minute wobbles in the star’s position caused by gravitational tugs from its planets.
By the way, the new planets are called “alien” planets not because they carry aliens, that is to say extraterrestrials, but because they are alien or foreign to earth’s solar system.

If you’re looking for some real scientific answers to questions about Nibiru, 2012, and the end of the world, here’s a great NASA website in which NASA Space Scientist David Morrison answers questions such as the following. Check it out, there’s also a video.

The great majority of the photos and videos on the Internet are of some feature near the Sun (apparently supporting the claim that Nibiru has been hiding behind the Sun for the past several years.) These are actually false images of the Sun caused by internal reflections in the lens, often called lens flare. You can identify them easily by the fact that they appear diametrically opposite the real solar image, as if reflected across the center of the image. This is especially obvious in videos, where as the camera moves, the false image dances about always exactly opposite the real image. Similar lens flare is a source of many UFO photos taken at night with strong light sources such as streetlights in the frame. I am surprised that people don’t recognize this common photo artifact. I am also amazed that these photos showing something nearly as large and bright as the Sun (a “second sun”) are accepted together with claims made on some of the same websites that Nibiru is too faint to be seen or photographed except with large telescopes.
