Sitchin was born in Baku, Azerbaijan, and was raised in Palestine. He
acquired some knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew, other Semitic
and European languages, the Old Testament, and the history and
archeology of the Near East. Sitchin graduated from the London School
of Economics, University of London, majoring in economic history. A
journalist and editor in Israel for many years, he now lives and
writes in New York City. His books have been widely translated,
converted to braille for the blind, and featured on radio and
television.
According to Sitchin's interpretation of Sumerian cosmology, there is
an undiscovered planet which follows a long, elliptical orbit,
reaching the inner solar system roughly every 3,600 years. This planet
is called Nibiru (the planet associated with Marduk in Babylonian
cosmology). According to Sitchin, Nibiru collided catastrophically
with Tiamat, another supposed planet located by Sitchin between Mars
and Jupiter. This collision supposedly formed the planet Earth, the
asteroid belt, and the comets. Tiamat, as outlined in the Enûma Elish,
is a goddess. According to Sitchin, however, Tiamat was what is now
known as Earth. When struck by one of planet Nibiru's moons, Tiamat
split in two. On a second pass Nibiru itself struck the broken
fragments and one half of Tiamat became the asteroid belt. The second
half, struck again by one of Nibiru's moons, was pushed into a new
orbit and became today's planet Earth.
According to Sitchin, Nibiru was the home of a technologically
advanced human-like extraterrestrial race called the Anunnaki in
Sumerian myth, who Sitchin states are called the Nephilim in Genesis.
He claims they first arrived on Earth probably 450,000 years ago,
looking for minerals, especially gold, which they found and mined in
Africa. These "gods" were the rank and file workers of the colonial
expedition to Earth from planet Nibiru. Sitchin believes the Anunnaki
genetically engineered Homo sapiens as slave creatures to work their
gold mines by crossing extraterrestrial genes with those of Homo
erectus. Sitchin claims ancient inscriptions report that human
civilization in Sumer of Mesopotamia was set up under the guidance of
these "gods", and human kingship was inaugurated to provide
intermediaries between mankind and the Anunnaki. Sitchin believes that
fallout from nuclear weapons, used during a war between factions of
the extraterrestrials, is the "evil wind" that destroyed Ur around
2000 BC. Sitchin claims the exact year is 2024 BC. This event is
described in the Lament for Ur.[3] Sitchin claims that his research
coincides with many biblical texts, and that biblical texts come
originally from Sumerian writings.

[edit] Geography
Location of Stelle, Illinois
Stelle is located at [show location on an interactive map] 40°57′09″N
88°09′13″W / 40.9525°N 88.15361°W / 40.9525; -88.15361 (40.9525,
-88.1535). The legal description of Stelle’s geography is: The 2nd
Resubdivision of Stelle Subdivision No. 1, located in the NE quarter
of Section 35, T29N, R9E of the 3rd PM, Rogers Township, Ford County,
Illinois. The Stelle Subdivision—AKA Stelle, IL—covers about 40 acres.
The US Postal service does not recognize Stelle, IL and uses Cabery,
Illinois, 60919.[1]
[edit] History
Stelle was founded in 1973 by the Stelle Group, a Chicago organization
created by Richard Kieninger.[citation needed] During the 1950s, Mr.
Kieninger had been a student of the Lemurian Fellowship in Ramona,
California, where he was instructed in a set of beliefs called
“Lemurian Philosophy.” In his book The Ultimate Frontier (written in
1963 under the pen name “Eklal Kueshana”), Mr. Kieninger outlined the
tenets of Lemurian Philosophy as well as further teachings he claimed
were given to him by ancient, secretive organizations called the
“Brotherhoods.”
The teachings Mr. Kieninger attributed to the Brotherhoods included a
prediction that cataclysmic earth changes were to occur around the
year 2000, as well as recommendations for individual advancement
through education, practice of the Twelve Great Virtues and an
emphasis on right action to improve one’s karma.[citation needed] In
order to provide a physical setting where individuals could more
easily practice the Brotherhoods’ teachings, the Stelle Group bought
land in northern Ford County, Illinois and members built a sewage
treatment plant, a water treatment plant, roads, streets, underground
utilities, a factory, a school and the first twenty-five homes. Mr.
Kieninger predicted that this new town would grow to a population of
250,000 people by the year 2000.[citation needed] (Stelle is an
example of an intentional community.)
The Ultimate Frontier sold over a quarter of a million copies;
[citation needed] however, Stelle’s distance from major job markets,
stringent membership requirements, and lack of funding prevented the
community from growing beyond its peak population of 200.
Mismanagement also took a toll; initially in 1975, and then again
during the mid-1980s, Mr. Kieninger became persona non grata in Stelle
because of, among other things, his tendency to abuse his position
[citation needed] and engage in multiple affairs with young Stelle
women.[citation needed]
After leaving Stelle, Mr. Kieninger founded another community,
Adelphi, Texas,[citation needed] which is located approximately 25
miles east of Dallas, Texas. Many of Stelle’s residents followed him
there, and Adelphi grew to a peak population of 30 before declining to
its present size of 16.[citation needed] Residence in Adelphi is open
only to members of the Adelphi Organization, which continues to teach
the tenets of Lemurian Philosophy and make available Mr. Kieninger’s
writings. All date-specific predictions have been removed from the
current edition of The Ultimate Frontier,[citation needed] though
references remain to the eventual occurrence of cataclysmic earth
changes.
Over the forty years since publication of The Ultimate Frontier,
several thousand people from all parts of the globe have participated
in funding and building the two communities. These participants form
an informal network of Stelle/Adelphi “graduates” who occasionally
return to Stelle for the annual Fourth of July celebration, or who
sometimes reunite both to reminisce and to discuss philosophical
issues and current events.
During the 1970s, the private homes and Stelle’s one factory were
owned by Stelle Industries Inc., whose four divisions (Stelle
Woodworking, Stelle Construction, Stelle Plastics, and the Stelle
Piano Shop) employed many Stelle residents. Most of the homes were
transferred to a form of co-operative ownership after 1976.[citation
needed] By the mid-1980s, Stelle Industries, Inc. had discontinued its
operations, and the factory was eventually purchased by a longtime
Stelle resident.[citation needed]
The school, the community center, the water treatment plant, and the
sewage treatment plant were originally owned and operated by the
Stelle Group. Quite a few early residents were employed in support
positions to handle correspondence, design and operate the public
utilities and manage the affairs of the rapidly growing community.
Since the population of the community stabilized, democratic decision-
making has been administered by the Stelle Community Association,
[citation needed] a homeowners association, whose personnel also
operate the water and sewer services.
Following a 1982 referendum, membership in the Stelle Group was
dropped as a prerequisite for residence in the Stelle community. The
Stelle Group continued its operations with reduced membership and
staff, and its philosophical perspective changed over time. In early
2005, the few remaining Stelle Group members decided to disband and
liquidate the organization’s assets—the school, the community center,
an orchard, a community garden, a pond, a greenhouse, a storage
building, and about 170 acres (700,000 m²) of farmland adjoining the
village.[citation needed]
In late 2005, the Center for Sustainable Community (CSC), an
educational organization that maintains its headquarters in Stelle,
purchased the orchard, the community garden, the pond, the greenhouse,
and the storage building.[citation needed] The remaining farmland was
purchased by a local organic farmer.[citation needed]
Although Stelle has become more similar to the nearby villages of
Cabery and Kempton, it is still notable for its suburban design, the
solar panels on many homes and many residents’ enthusiasm for lifelong
education and co-operative enterprises.[citation needed] It has its
own telephone company, which provides telephone, television, and
internet access to the village. Stelle also boasts a community garden
co-op, a tool co-op, a Monday night dinner co-op, and, until recently,
a learning co-op for young children.
Stelle has historically attracted a broad mix of people, many from
outside the Midwest.[citation needed] But in recent years, few new
adults younger than middle age have moved to Stelle. Because of this
and the almost universal trend of young adults to leave Stelle
permanently after high school, the population has aged greatly and the
median age is now 53. In comparison, the nearby village of Cabery,
despite having less than 300 residents, has a median age of 35. [2]

NASA's Kepler spacecraft has begun its search for other Earth-like
worlds. The mission, which launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on
March 6, will spend the next three-and-a-half years staring at more
than 100,000 stars for telltale signs of planets. Kepler has the
unique ability to find planets as small as Earth that orbit sun-like
stars at distances where temperatures are right for possible lakes and
oceans.
"Now the fun begins," said William Borucki, Kepler science principal
investigator at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. "We
are all really excited to start sorting through the data and
discovering the planets."
Scientists and engineers have spent the last two months checking out
and calibrating the Kepler spacecraft. Data have been collected to
characterize the imaging performance as well as the noise level in the
measurement electronics. The scientists have constructed the list of
targets for the start of the planet search, and this information has
been loaded onto the spacecraft.
"If Kepler got into a staring contest, it would win," said James
Fanson, Kepler project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
Pasadena, Calif. "The spacecraft is ready to stare intently at the
same stars for several years so that it can precisely measure the
slightest changes in their brightness caused by planets." Kepler will
hunt for planets by looking for periodic dips in the brightness of
stars -- events that occur when orbiting planets cross in front of
their stars and partially block the light.
The mission's first finds are expected to be large, gas planets
situated close to their stars. Such discoveries could be announced as
early as next year.
Kepler is a NASA Discovery mission. NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett
Field, Calif., is the home organization of the science principal
investigator, and is responsible for the ground system development,
mission operations and science data analysis. JPL manages the Kepler
mission development. Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. of Boulder,
Colo., is responsible for developing the Kepler flight system and
supporting mission operations.

How planets are detected
Even with the most advanced telescopes, astronomers cannot see planets
orbiting other stars directly. The planets shine only by reflected
light and are hidden by the brilliance of their parent stars. The
planets and their stars are also much farther away than our sun. The
nearest star is 4.2 light-years away, compared to 8 light-minutes for
the sun. One light-year is the distance that light travels in one year
-- about 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers). Thus, it
takes light 4.2 years to reach Earth from the nearest star beyond the
sun and only 8 minutes to reach Earth from the sun.
Scientists know of more than 100 stars other than the sun that have
planets. Astronomers cannot see planets around distant stars. However,
they can detect the planets from tiny changes in the stars' movement
and tiny decreases in the amount of light coming from the stars. The
changes in a star's movement are caused by the slight pull of the
planet's gravity on its parent star. To find new planets, astronomers
use a technique called spectroscopy, which breaks down the light from
stars into its component rainbow of colors. The scientists look for
places in the rainbow where colors are missing. At these places, dark
lines known as spectral lines cross the rainbow. The spectral lines
change their location in the rainbow slightly as a star is pulled by
the gravity of an orbiting planet toward and away from Earth. These
apparent changes in a star's light as the star moves are due to a
phenomenon known as the Doppler effect. The changes not only show that
a planet is present but also indicate how much mass it has.
The amount of light coming from the star decreases when the planet
passes in front of the star. The planet blocks some of the starlight,
dimming the star.
The first discoveries
Astronomers announced the discovery of the first planets around a star
other than our sun in 1992. The star is a pulsar named PSR B1257+12 in
the constellation Virgo. Pulsars are dead stars that have collapsed
until they are only about 12 miles (20 kilometers) across. They spin
rapidly on their axes, sending out radio waves that arrive on Earth as
pulses of radio energy. Some pulsars spin hundreds of times each
second. If a pulsar has a planet, the planet pulls the star to and fro
slightly as it orbits. These pulls cause slight variations in the
radio pulses. From measurements of these variations, the Polish-born
American astronomer Alexander Wolszczan and American Dale A. Frail
discovered three planets in orbit around PSR B1257+12. The star emits
such strong X rays, however, that no life could survive on its
planets.
Astronomers soon began to find planets around stars more like the sun.
In 1995, Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz found the
first planet orbiting a sunlike star, 51 Pegasi, in the constellation
Pegasus. American astronomers Geoffrey W. Marcy and R. Paul Butler
confirmed the discovery and found planets of their own around other
stars. In 1999, astronomers announced the first discovery of a
multiple-planet system belonging to a sunlike star. They determined
that three planets orbit the star Upsilon Andromedae, which is 44
light-years from Earth in the constellation Andromeda.
Also in 1999, American astronomer Gregory W. Henry first detected a
dimming of starlight due to the presence of a planet. The star that
Henry observed is known as HD 209458, and it is located in Pegasus.
Henry measured the star's brightness at the request of Marcy, Butler,
and American astronomer Steven S. Vogt, who had previously used the
spectroscopic technique to identify this star as a parent of a planet.
Some stars have a planet orbiting them at a distance at which living
things could exist. Most scientists consider liquid water essential
for life, so a region that is neither too hot nor too cold for liquid
water is known as a habitable zone. Although astronomers have found
stars with planets in their habitable zones, all the planets found so
far are probably gaseous with no solid surface. But they may have
solid moons.
In 2001, Marcy announced the discovery of a solar system containing an
extremely unusual object. That object and an ordinary planet orbit the
star HD 168443, which is 123 light-years away in the constellation
Serpens. The object is so unusual because of its mass. It is at least
17 times as massive as Jupiter.
Astronomers are not yet sure how to classify the object. They had not
thought that a planet could be as massive as the object is. Before
this discovery, the only known heavenly bodies of such mass were dim
objects called brown dwarfs. But brown dwarfs form by means of the
same process that forms stars, not planets.
Astronomers also have been surprised to find that other solar systems
have huge, gaseous planets in close orbits. In our own solar system,
the inner planets are rocky and small, and only the outer planets,
except for Pluto, are huge and gassy. But several newly discovered
planets have at least as much mass as Jupiter, the largest planet in
our solar system. Unlike Jupiter, however, these massive planets race
around their stars in only a few weeks. Kepler's third law says that
for a planet to complete its orbit so quickly, it must be close to its
parent star. Several of these giant planets, therefore, must travel
around their stars even closer than our innermost planet, Mercury,
orbits our sun. Such close orbits would make their surfaces too hot to
support life as we know it.
Some newly discovered planets follow unusual orbits. Most planets
travel around their stars on nearly circular paths, like those of the
planets in our solar system. But a planet around the star 16 Cygni B
follows an extremely elliptical orbit. It travels farther from its
star than the planet Mars does from our sun, and then draws closer to
the star than Venus does to our sun. If a planet in our solar system
traveled in such an extreme oval, its gravity would disrupt the orbits
of the other planets and toss them out of their paths.
Throughout the early 2000's, astronomers continued to improve
techniques for detecting planets, enabling them to discover an
increasing variety of planets around other stars. In 2004, astronomers
announced the first discoveries of planets much smaller than Jupiter.
The newly discovered planets were about the size of Uranus or Neptune.
Despite the planets' huge size, astronomers theorized that some of
them might be rocky planets rather than gas giants.

This artist's concept shows the smallest star known to host a planet.
The planet, called VB 10b, was discovered using astrometry, a method
in which the wobble induced by a planet on its star is measured
precisely on the sky.
The dim, red star, called VB 10, is a so-called M-dwarf, located 20
light-years away in the constellation Aquila. It has only one-twelfth
the mass, and one-tenth the size, of our sun. The planet is a gas
giant similar in size to Jupiter but with six times the mass. Though
the planet is less massive than its star, the two orbs would have a
similar diameter.
VB 10b orbits its star about every 9 months at a distance of 30
million miles.
