Vera C. Rubin Searching for Planet X
Vera C. Rubin Searching for Planet XWormwoodThe Third Trumpet: Wormwood is the central feature of the third trumpet judgment, a series of plagues preceding the end times.The Burning Star: Revelation 8:11 describes a great star, blazing like a torch, falling from heaven onto the world's rivers and springs.Catastrophic Poisoning: The star's name is "Wormwood," and it turns one-third of all fresh water into bitter, deadly water, according to Bible Gateway. This event results in many deaths, notes this YouTube video.NibiruOrigin: The concept stems from interpretations by Zecharia Sitchin, who claimed ancient Sumerian texts described a 12th celestial body (Nibiru) with a 3,600-year elliptical orbit.Conspiracy Theory: Nancy Lieder, founder of ZetaTalk, popularized the idea in 1995, claiming extraterrestrials warned her of an impending pole shift caused by this planet.Scientific Refutation: Scientists point out that a large planet entering the inner solar system would be easily visible to the naked eye and would have caused observable, devastating gravitational disruptions to other planets.Confusion with Real Science: The myth is sometimes falsely linked to the legitimate scientific search for a "Planet Nine," which is believed to exist far beyond Pluto and poses no danger to Earth.Planet X, or Planet Nine, is a hypothetical Neptune-sized planet thought to exist in the extreme outer solar system, with a mass up to 10 times that of Earth and an orbit 20 times farther than Neptune. It is not directly observed but is suggested by gravitational anomalies in the orbits of distant Kuiper Belt objects.Location & Orbit: Located in the far outer solar system, it may take 15,000 to 20,000 Earth years to complete one orbit around the sun.Why It's Hard to Find: Due to its immense distance from the sun, it receives little light, making it nearly invisible and extremely difficult to detect with current telescopes.Vera C. Rubin Observatory'Revolutionary': Vera C. Rubin Observatory found 800,000 objects of interest in a single nightThe Vera C. Rubin Observatory sent scientists nearly 1 million astronomy alerts in one night, showing off changes in the sky. Eventually, the telescope is expected to reach 7 million alerts per night.The telescope, which scans the full sky from its perch atop Cerro Pachón mountain in Chile, produced the alerts to direct scientists to "new asteroids, exploding stars, and other changes in the night sky," representatives for the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) said in a statement."Scientists will have a greater ability to catch supernovae in their earliest moments, discover and track asteroids to assess potential threats to Earth, and spot rare interstellar objects as they race through the solar system," NSF representatives wrote in the statement.Rubin's alert system is starting up shortly before the observatory begins a 10-year program, known as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), later this year. Rubin will do nightly sky scans to generate an image of the entire Southern Hemisphere sky every few nights, using the largest-ever digital camera to spot any changes in the view overhead.The observatory's debut images, released in June 2025, revealed more than 10 million galaxies in and around the Virgo ClusterBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tempest-universe--4712510/support.Please follow the #podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTempestUniversePodcast?sub_confirmation=1
