IT was supposed to be the end of the world at the weekend - so what happened?
Conspiracy theorists and internet oddballs feared that humanity's last day would come on Saturday, September 23 when a planet called Nibiru smashed into the Earth.

Thankfully (and unsurprisingly), this grim prediction didn't come to pass.
There's one excellent and very simple explanation about why we're still here - Nibiru doesn't exist.
Here's what Nasa reportedly said about the hoax: "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.
"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."
David Meade, the Christians numerologist who first predicted the abortive apocalypse when a mysterious planet collides with Earth, is now backtracking on his claims.
Meade told The Sun Online that people have misunderstood his Planet X prophecy and the world was NOT due to end last weekend.
Instead, the planet will cause catastrophic events to take place over a period of seven years starting in October - including solar flares that could destroy electricity grids, nuclear attacks, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.
“The world is not ending, but the world as we know it is ending,” he later told the Washington Post.
“A major part of the world will not be the same the beginning of October.”

He told The Sun Online that "nothing" would happen in September whereas October would be "action month" and the possible start of a seven-year "tribulation".
David believes that a "spiritual sign" will appear in the sky on September 23 where the moon will appear under the constellation of Virgo.
Several days later on October 5, Planet X will fully eclipse the sun and cover the Earth in shadow, which will signal the start of the "seven-year-tribulation" on October 21, he believes.
An asteroid named Wormwood, measuring at least three kilometers in diameters, which is attached to the "debris field of the Planet X star system" will hit the Earth at some point during the seven years, he claims.
Meade's prediction is based on hidden numerical codes hidden within in the Bible, particularly in the apocalyptic Book of Revelation.

He said recent events such as the solar eclipse and Hurricanes Irma and Harvey are omens of doomsday.
Ed Stetzer, a professor and executive director of Wheaton College’s Billy Graham Center for Evangelism, slammed Meade’s theory, describing it as “fake news” and calling on Christians to be less credulous, Fox News reported.
“It’s simply fake news that a lot of Christians believe the world will end on September 23,” Stetzer wrote in Christianity Today.
“Yet, it is still a reminder that we need to think critically about all the news.”
Some scientists believe a massive planet called Planet 9 really is lurking at the edge of our solar system.
It's feared this mysterious world could be fated to cause a "death dance" that wipes out almost every other major planet.
The hypothetical planet could one day hurtle through our solar system, sending planets "pinballing" into outer space or plunging into the Sun.
Luckily for us, humanity has about seven billion years to prepare for this grim eventuality, which will take place when the Sun begins to die.
Credible stargazers also believe the sun had an "evil twin" called NEMESIS which may have wiped out the dinosaurs.
Two highly-respected astronomers from the University of Berkeley and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at Harvard University said our star had a "sibling" when it was born 4.5 billion years ago.
In a statement, Berkeley made the astonishing suggestion that this prodigal sun "kicked an asteroid into Earth’s orbit that collided with our planet and exterminated the dinosaurs".
However, this mystery star has never been found and scientists have not been able to unequivocally prove its role in the demise of our planet's extinct lizard kings.
