Question

I share your view on Nibiru causing a catastrophe. It has to be a hoax which has been around for a lot of time. However, the only thing that generates curiousity in me is the fact that the area dimensioned (5h 53m 27s, -6 10' 58") has been blackened out in Google Sky and Microsoft Telescope. People suggest that these have been blackened out because those are the co-ordinates where Nibiru is located at present. Please clarify.

Several people have asked me about this blank rectangle in Orion in Google Sky, which is a presentation of images from the Sloan Digital Survey. This can't be a "hiding place" for Nibiru, since it is a part of the sky that could be seen from almost everywhere on the Earth last winter when much of this talk about Nibiru began. That would completely contradict the claims that Nibiru was hiding behind the Sun or that it could be seen only from the southern hemisphere. But I too was curious about this blank rectangle, so I asked a good friend who is a senior scientist at Google. He replied that he "found out that the missing data is due to a processing error in the image stitching program we use to display the Sloan survey images. The team assures me that in the next run through, this will be fixed!"
