NASA astronomer David Morrison debunks conspiracy theories surrounding the "discovery" of Planet X, or Nibiru. Photoshop and a creative imagination, Morrison explains, lead many to believe in this fictional planet and the doomsday predictions for 2012.
This program was recorded in collaboration with the 2010 SkeptiCal Conference, in Berkeley, CA, on April 24, 2010.
