Popularized in part by a woman that claims to receive messages from extraterrestrials, the planet collision doomsday theory was originally predicted for 2003.
Some say it's out there: A mysterious Planet X, aka Nibiru, on a collision course with Earth - or at least a disruptive flyby.
A direct hit would obliterate Earth. Even a near miss could shower Earth with deadly asteroid impacts hurled our way by the planet's gravitational wake.
Could such an unknown planet really be headed our way?
Well, no.
If there were a planet in the inner solar system, astronomers would have been studying it for the past decade and it would be visible to the naked eye by now.
