Whatever your plans are for tomorrow, you can be safe in the knowledge that Armageddon isn't going to disrupt them.

Several internet conspiracy theorists have been circulating a prophecy about a rogue planet called Nibiru crashing into Earth and wiping out all life. The date of our supposed destruction is September 23.

This theory of a wayward planet - also known as "Planet X" - has been picked up by so-called Christian numerologist David Meade who believes it's heading our way.

The conspirator posted a video to YouTube in which he says: "It is very strange indeed that both the Great Sign of Revelation 12 and the Great Pyramid of Giza both point us to one precise moment in time – September 20 to 23, 2017.

Now the chatter has got so noisy that even NASA has put out a statement to confirm the theory isn't true.

"Various people are 'predicting' that world will end on September 23 when another planet collides with Earth. The planet in question, Nibiru, doesn't exist, so there will be no collision," the space agency said.

"Nibiru and other stories about wayward planets are an internet hoax.

"There is no factual basis for these claims. If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye.

"Obviously, it does not exist."

Where does the conspiracy theory come from?

As well as noting apparent mystic markings on the pyramids in Egypt, Meade's prediction is largely based on the Bible passage Isaiah, Chapter 13 9-10, which says: "See, the Day of the Lord is coming – a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger – to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it.

"The Stars of Heaven and their constellations will not show their light. The rising sun will be darkened and the Moon will not give its light."

Supposedly, a celestial alignment takes place on the 23rd that mirrors one fortold in the Book of Revelation. But experts have proven that there is nothing special about the line-up of the moon, the planets or the sun on that date.

It is, after all, complete fiction.
