The day has finally arrived, Armageddon, Doomsday, the end of the world.
As reported by the Evening Times, according to amateur stargazer and Christian numerologist David Meade, who has been getting a lot of online traction, a planet called Nibiru or 'Planet X' will appear in the skies on Saturday September 23.
As if that wasn’t enough to get you worked up, he said it will then crash into the Earth, bringing an end to all life.
Despite scientists claiming the planet doesn’t exist, Meade has said the total solar eclipse which plunged the US into darkness on August 21 indicates Nibiru’s arrival. Doomsday is predicted to occur 33 days later – and that number, he suggested, is the key.
Even though there’s a severe lack of evidence behind the sensational claims - with even Nasa labelling it as an “internet hoax” - many people are still adamant it is real.
However, with the day finally arriving and no sign of the life-ending planet, twitter users have flooded social media with jokes about the supposed hoax.
Has anyone seen planet x yet? It was supposed to be hurtling int earth today. Guess it must have missed.

Planet X snuck into our solar system during the eclipse when we couldn’t see it. Never underestimate the sneakiness of Planet X.

Remember the world was supposed to end in 2012 too. And 2011. And 2010. And 2007. And this isn't likely to be the last time we are warned about a Doomsday that doesn't arrive.
