fourniburu

Fourniburu is a hypothetical celestial object that has gained attention in speculative astronomical discussions. It is often described as a planet or dwarf planet that is predicted to be on a highly elliptical orbit around the Sun. The concept of Fourniburu is not supported by mainstream astronomical observations or theories. It is primarily associated with fringe theories and pseudoscientific claims that suggest its periodic close approaches to Earth could cause catastrophic events.

The origin of the name "Fourniburu" and its associated lore appears to be linked to the concept of "Nibiru," a mythical planet that has been popularized in various conspiracy theories. Proponents of Fourniburu often suggest it is a large object that is part of a binary star system or a rogue planet that has been captured by our Sun's gravity. These claims typically lack empirical evidence and are not recognized by the scientific community.

Astronomers use sophisticated methods to detect and track celestial bodies, including those in the outer Solar System. The existence of a large object like Fourniburu with an orbit that would bring it close to Earth periodically would be readily detectable by current observational technology. To date, no such object has been observed. The scientific consensus is that there is no evidence to support the existence of Fourniburu or any planet-sized object on a trajectory that would pose a threat to Earth.
