Marking the equinox
In a 2015 report for the Cuneiform Digital Library Bulletin, Immanuel Freedman concluded that the name Nēbiru may be assigned to any visible astronomical object that marks an equinox, as supported by cuneiform evidence. The and Enûma Eliš identify Jupiter as Nibiru, while tablets K.6174:9’ and K.12769:6’ name Mercury as Nibiru: "If Mercury (MULUDU.IDIM.GU4) divides the sky and stands there, [its name] is Nibiru."

Jupiter
In Babylonian cosmology, the planet Jupiter (referred to as a star) was called Nibiru when observed in the month of Tišritum. The states:
 * When the stars of have been finished, one big star – although its light is dim – divides the sky in half and stands there: that is, the star of Marduk (MUL dAMAR.UD), Nibiru (né-bé-ru), Jupiter (MULSAG.ME.GAR); it keeps changing its position and crosses the sky.

Nibiru was considered the seat of the summus deus who shepherds the stars like sheep as the "star of Marduk". The Enûma Eliš states:
 * Nibiru is [Marduk's] star, which he made appear in the heavens... [130-131] The stars of heaven, let him [Nibiru] set their course; let him shepherd all the gods like sheep.

Sitchin
(July 11, 1920 – October 9, 2010) proposed that Nibiru was an outer planet within our solar system. In his book The 12th Planet, Sitchin interprets Nibiru to be a giant planet (also called Marduk) that passes by Earth every 3,600 years, allowing its sentient inhabitants to interact with humanity. Sitchin identified these beings with the Anunnaki from Mesopotamian mythology and claimed that they were humanity's first gods. Followers of Sitchin’s ideas refer to Nibiru as “Planet X”, the name given to a planet that is allegedly located within our solar system but beyond Pluto. Adherents to the “returning Planet X hypothesis” believe the return of this wandering planet will bring cataclysmic consequences to earth.
