J upiter, the biggest planet
S aturn, the other gas planet.
U ranus, the tilted planet
P luto, the smallest planet.
N ibiru, the planet in all the places of order, up to 5th, it might be the biggest current danger to earth cause of it's magnetic powers, which might cause devastation in June 2003, however this is just a theory. It has an elliptical orbit.

First of all, Mars is not a possible evacuation planet, simply because there are NO spacecraft currently in the planning stages that could take 1 person to Mars, let alone the Earth’s population.

Now, about this “10th Planet” crap. When did ANY scientist EVER confirm the existence of Nibiru, and when was its orbit PLOTTED?

"The 10 planets of our solar system, including Nibiru (planet of the passing) by Cpt. Rob"

It’s an intriguing title, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to burst a little bubble here. There are NOT 10 planets in our system, and I'm very disappointed that NASA seems to "know" there is. The Niribu "theory" belongs on a page of "theories" (or even better, a page of “wild ideas”), not a page of reviewed, scientific "facts."

At first glance, one would assume these pages were designed for educational purposes, not the proliferation of some pseudo-scientific agenda..

No wonder we're still stuck in LEO,
