Conspiracy theorists have gone into overdrive during the course of the last few days, insisting that the return of "nibiru" or "planet x" will occur on Sunday November 19.
The mythical celestial object is said to have an orbit of 3,600 years and its passing is associated with massive gravitational and atmospheric effects, leading many proponents of the theory to make doomsday predictions.
Despite these catastrophic predictions becoming ever more ubiquitous in recent years, hitherto the earth has avoided calamity and most experts in the astronomical field vehemently deny the existence of Nibiru, including Nasa.
The concept of Nibiru can be traced back to Babylonian times with various different texts making reference to it and it is on this basis that modern day proponents of the theory draw their justification.
