R.S Harrington The Planet X that Harrison was seeking was a small planet to account for the perturbations in the orbits of Neptune and Uranis... a body that would be WITHIN OUR SOLAR SYATEM already as these perturbations have been observed since Lowell in 1930 This is NOT the same as Nibiru... though it is used as proof that Robert Harrington was searching for Nibiru. The confusion between Nibiru and Planet X (meaning Planet 10 in the minds of Lowell and other astronomers) seems deliberate or ignorant at best. Besides does not Sitchen say Nibiru is the 12th Planet? Would that not be Planet XII? |

Abstract The observation of the region of the sky in which it is believed Planet X should now be, based on perturbations observed in the motions of Uranus and Neptune, was determined, and there was no reason to update that determination. A limited area of that region was photographed, and that will be continued. A given area is photographed with the twin 20 cm astrograph in New Zealand on two successive nights near the time that area is in opposition, and these plates are blinked in Washington to identify anything that has moved. The predicted region is in the south, which requires observations from a southern station, and it is in opposition in the April to June period, which means observations have not yet started for the year. Blinking will be done as soon as the plates are received in Washington. Document ID: NTRS 19920003598 |

.. Considerations on the stability of the solar system led Bob to collaborate with T.C. Van Flandern in studies of the dynamical evolution of its satellites, and to an eventual search for "Planet X", conjectured to lie beyond Pluto and to be responsible for small, unexplained, residuals in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. Late in his career Bob seemed quite skeptical of such an object, however. Nevertheless, the program instituted at Flagstaff to photograph the outer planets and their satellites led to the spectacular discovery in 1978, by J.W. Christy, of Pluto's satellite. Bob's inspired guess that the period of revolution matched the already known period of light variation resulted in rapid determination of the orbital elements, and hence the mass of both planet and satellite. He served as a joint editor of four books, was a member of the AAS, the IAU (where he served on four commissions), the Planetary Society, and the Society of Sigma Xi. He also served on the astrometry team for the International Halley Watch, and on the local organizing committee for the 20th General Assembly of the IAU. Robert (Bob) Harrington died on Jan. 23, 1993 after a short, but determined, battle against esophageal cancer. He left his wife, Betty, two daughters, a sister, and his parents. http://ad.usno.navy.mil/wds/history/harrington.html Part 3 1972

Robert Harrington and Planet X Dr. Robert S. Harrington was an astronomer with the United States Naval Observatory. He had multiple theories on Planet X over the years including The Location of Planet X 1988 and The Search for Planet X 1991. He based his theories on the movements of the outer planets and a possible influence from an unknown body in the solar system. These published and publicly available papers by the Naval Observatory astronomer are even referred to by some Planet X proponents as "NASA internal documents"! Oddly, it is his death that the Planet X crowd refer to more often than his theories. This seems to stem from a white paper written by Neil Freer titled The Alien Question: An Expanded Perspective. In this white paper Freer wrote: "It is interesting that Harrington dispatched an appropriate telescope to Black Birch, New Zealand to get a visual confirmation, based on the data leading to the expectation that it would be below the ecliptic in the southern skies at this point in its orbit. On Harrington’s early death the scope was immediately called back --- as one observer noted, “almost before he was cold”. " Neil Freer is an English professor who has written several books about the works of Zecharia Sitchin. Zetatalk takes this a step further saying: "A Phil Schneider assassination is evident, as is the death of Robert Harrington". In Blindsided, Mark Hazlewood says: "What obvious
message do you think was sent to Stitchin,
Van Flandern and anyone else in the know, when
Harrington suddenly met
with an early death at the same time the scope was
being pulled back? Sometimes
an
Yes, more conspiracy theory on the cover-up of Planet X. The easy explanation why no astronomer or scientist will support the silly Zeta planet. Zetatalk recently added a new page on Harrington with a rambling conspiracy theory and the usual reference of "his cohorts sang whatever tune the CIA wanted" to justify why astronomers no longer feel that a Planet X exists. The truth of the
matter is that Robert Harrington died
January 23, 1993 of esophageal cancer. Nothing
mysterious or sinister
about this. There is also no evidence of a telescope
being dispatched to
Black Birch, New
In his book Genesis Revisited, Sitchin says: "On January 16, 1990, Dr. Harrington reported at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Arlington, Virginia, that the U.S. Naval Observatory team has narrowed its search for the tenth planet to the southern skies and has announced the dispatch of a team of astronomers to the Black Birch Astronomic Observatory in New Zealand." Note: this was 3 years before Harrington's death. Harrington in his 1991 paper The Search for Planet X wrote about the search already being underway and it would continue from New Zealand. Why New Zealand? Harrington's latest calculations showed that if Planet X existed it would be in the region of Centaurus and Hydra, a region which is too far south for Tombaugh to have searched in the 1930s. This is also NOT the location of the Zeta Planet X. Not even close. Are we looking at dishonesty here? Or simply more poor research? That is difficult to say. What is obvious is that the Planet X crowd does like to take the truth and twist it to suit their needs. |
