Would there be any substantial data revolving around Planet X in an attempt to plot its course in Celestia? It is also known as 2001 KX76...but when I increase the time frame...It doesnt seem to 'pass the earth' as what is being therized by some...hehe as the coming of the end of days...
I am going to do some research on it and see what I come up with...
But here is a little info on the subject...

2001KX76 orbits beyond Neptune. It doesn't come anywhere near Earth. You may be confusing it with 1950DA, a near-Earth object recently predicted to pass very close to or possibly collide with Earth a few centuries from now.

Naw its the right one...On Art Bell's show one of these end of the world guys seems to think so anyway...

Look for the 1/16/02 show...
I wanted to make a somewhat theroretical orbit that plots this course...

Art Bell? You gotta be kidding! His stuff about "Planet X" is utter nonsense and has nothing whatever to do with 2001KX76 or any other actual astronomical discoveries.

I figured you were joking about Planet X. I doubt that you'll be able to find any orbital elements for this supposed object; that would make the story too easy to refute...

I did get more accurate data on KX76 from an astronomer named L. H. Wasserman...
The values I have for this object are:
Epoch: 2452400.5000 = 2002 05 06
Mean Anomaly: 259.58451
Argument of Peri: 300.92420
Long of Asc Node: 71.01551
Inclination: 19.68326
Eccentricity: 0.24470755
Semi-Major Axis: 39.31360361

If anyone is interested...

I emailed this guy >>
http://www.metatech.org/planet_x_nibiru_earth_changes.html << in an attempt to find out just how he knows that this is:
1) A Brown Dwarf
and
2) Will be passing close to the Earth and in turn cause much devistation...
I doubt that he will respond in turn...or if he does will be able to provide me with substantual proof...As most doom sayers are just talking out of thier @$$ as we have seen in the past...Call me interested is all...I do this for fun...disproving little episodes like these
