| Summary | The Nibiru cataclysm is a prediction that a large planet or brown dwarf called Nibiru (or Planet X) would collide with or pass near Earth, causing catastrophic destruction. This was often linked to the 2012 phenomenon. Astronomers have found no evidence for such a planet in the outer solar system. |
| Origin | The modern version originated in the 1970s with Zecharia Sitchin's interpretations of Sumerian mythology, and was later popularized by Nancy Lieder in the 1990s and 2000s. |

| Evidence / consensus | Astronomers have conducted extensive sky surveys and found no object matching Nibiru's description. The claim is considered pseudoscience with no observational support. |
