298 the other moons of Uranus. Could a celestial collision with a passing Nibiru and its moons cause all that? In recent years astronomers have ascertained that the outer large planets have not stayed put where they were formed, but have been drifting outward, away from the Sun. The studies concluded that the shift has been most pronounced in the case of Uranus and Neptune (see sketch, Fig. 129), and that can explain why nothing happened out there for many Nibiru orbits—then suddeny something did. It is not implau- sible to assume that on its “Deluge” orbit Nibiru encountered the drifting Uranus, and one of Nibiru’s moons struck Ura- nus, tilting it on its side; it could even be that the strike “weapon” was the enigmatic moon Miranda—a moon of Nibiru—striking Uranus and ending up captured to orbit Uranus. Such an occurrence would have affected the orbit of Nibiru, slowing it down to about 3450 Earth-years rather than 3600, and resulting in a post-Diluvial reappearance schedule of circa 7450, circa 4000, and circa 550 B.C.E. If that is what had happeed, it would explain the “early” arrival of Nibiru in 556 B.c.E.—and suggest that its next ar- rival will be circa A.D. 2900. For those who associate the prophesied cataclysmic events with the return of Nibiru— “Planet X” to some—the time is not at hand. THE END OF DAYS FIGURE 129
