Do you believe in Nibiru?

Found it on google sky

I bought my friend a 2012 diary. I crossed out all the dates after Dec 21st. That bought a vety serious "Of course Dec 21st is when Nibiru is at its closest and when the trouble starts etcetc".

Hubble and the Moon

For NASA conspiracy theories already closer to home, this is an interesting one:

The Enterprise Mission - Hubble Shoots the Moon

To the shock and amazement of many in the planetary science community, the Space Telescope Science Institute (STSI) on April 16th, 1999, released the first Hubble Space Telescope images ever taken of the Moon. What was shocking to so many of these scientists and researchers was not what was on the images, but rather that the images themselves even existed. You see, for more than 5 years, the STSI and NASA have been consistently claiming that the Hubble flatly could not image the Moon!

It goes on to question why the Hubble's infrared images of the Moon haven't been released, claiming there's an alien civilisation under the surface.

I think it more likely that the images would highlight any valuable minerals and they don't want the Chinese or Russians to know where to stake any claims.

I know the world is not going to end in 2012 as Marty McFly travelled to 2015 in the second BTTF film and the world hadn't ended.

Who cares....while Bruce Willis and has band of brave oil rig drillers are still about. No rock can stand a chance. Now where is that Aerosmith CD?

They debunk their own conspiracy without even noticing: the email they quote saying the Moon is too bright is dated 1995, then later they say "Then came Hubble's new Lunar fixation. The telescope just happens to include a number of other instruments besides the visible light camera, an infrared camera of course among them. The timing gets even more interesting when you consider that the supposed reason that Hubble was pointed at the Moon in the first place was to actually get data about the Sun. Using something called the the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, or STIS (basically an infrared camera), Hubble measured the reflected sunlight to calibrate the Sun's spectrum, which will let astronomers gauge how other bodies in the solar system absorb and reflect sunlight."

As any fule kno, the STIS wasn't fitted to Hubble until 1997. So the reason Hubble couldn't take images of the Moon before was that the Moon was too bright for the existing instruments, and the reason it then became able to take such images was that new instruments had been fitted. It's not exactly rocket science

Right, whatever.

Nick, ATFQ. Nibiru, yes or no?

Of course not. Do I look like an imbecile?

It's a bit like a cretin. Which is nearly all of us.
