Please have a look at the July25/2003 sightings (http://www.zetatalk.com/teams/tteam342.htm). My astronomy knowledge are very limited, so please someone explain to me how is it possible to have Planet X occulting Sun and not having something similar with a solar eclipse. Is Planet X a sort of star? Is Planet X emitting light at the same intensity with the Sun?
On July 24 PX is occulting Sun at 6 o’clock if you are in Texas and at 9 o’clock if you are in Santorini. On July 25 PX is occulting Sun at 2 o’clock if you are in Italy. In my opinion this is possible only if:
a) PX’s orbit is very similar with the Planet Z (http://members.aol.com/asimovgirl/planetz/pzindex.html).
b) Sun and PX are orbiting around the Earth. Earth is huge and Sun and PX are tiny and very close to the Earth.
c) I am crazy.
d) Nancy is crazy.

d .. This will eventually backfire on Nancy when her believers wake up and realize this rogue of hers never does anything but hang around the sun. I mean, she's got to make it do something else sooner or later, right?

Thank you Musashi and Archer17, I calmed down a little. But I think that Planet X is not a Bad Astronomy subject anymore. What we need here is a MD specialised in mental disorders. I can think at schizophrenia, but in this case one of the symptoms is social withdrawal, and Nancy is not exhibiting this symptom

Sorry, vpn, but the answer is C.
But don't worry, 99% of the rest of the planet is just as crazy


P.S. I hope it's somewhere near 99% :-?

Wait, so Planet X occulted the sun three times in one month? Now, I don't know much on the subject, but how could a planet with a massive orbit that takes 3600 years to complete, pass in front of the sun 3 times in one month?

VPN, you are not crazy. The correct answer is, (d) Nancy is crazy.

There is no such thing as Planet X, which is why nobody has ever noticed it hiding the sun three times this month. It's all in her (extremely active) imagination.

The Bad Astronomer has a good information page on Planet X.

P.S. You are aware that AsimovGirl's "Planet Z" page is intended as a joke, yes?

Exactly! And "occulting" sounds vaguely threatening. Next thing you know, Planet X will be a satanist.

You guys have a lot more faith in her follower's critical thinking skills than I do. If they stuck arround after the "White Lie," why should a simple thing like a physical impossibility bother them?

Hmm ... you have a point there Sammy. We can always hope though ...

Not only does PX just hang around the sun all the time, it apparently moves back and forth accross the sun at will.

[quote="Sammy"]I think only a handful of them or still around. I only see like one or two people on tt-watch supporting her, and even on Godlike she's a standing joke.

Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.

Here are two new ZetaTalk postings which say a lot about the reasoning abilities of Nancy's disciples, and of Nancy herself:

Big news of PX effects. A drought--never had that before. Bad TV and cell phone reception -- also new and unique, especially since its confined to one locale. Noon is late -- not worthy of comment! Warm weather, grasshoppers, and maturing corn--wow! And best of all, pink and red sunsets -- with the Elite obviously supressing reports of these weird colors in the sky!! #-o

Critical thinking? Right! I'd love to have the Brooklyn Bridge sales franchise for these folk's hometown

Nancy has really flipped. She claims that the persona's are occulting the sun. Even she must realize that there is no way that a persona as described by her could occult anything, since it's just a false image caused by the bending of light (according to Nancy). In short, according to the Zetas own info, a persona of PX could not occult anything.

Or, it could be that I got lost while wading through the steaming piles of Zetatalk. 8-[

Ugh. Watch your step.

Apparently, the Zeta site is reporting PX as both a planet and a sun.

I must not PX. PX is the mind-killer. I will face my PX. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the PX has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Firstly: D. Remain Calm. :wink:

Yep - 'smoldering brown dwarf is the term...' as ridiculous as it is impossible yes - especially when she claims there's life on the planet/brown dwarf!!!

I've done it again!!! I have the occulting thing all figured out =D> =D> =D>

Planet X is not a Brown Dwarf, Comet, Planet, Pulsar, or Asteroid. It is actually a Knuckle Ball, thrown by Cy Young a long time ago, hence the strange trajectory \/
