Does the fourth planet out from the Zeta Reticuli II star in the Reticulum constellation have...?

Does the fourth planet out from the Zeta Reticuli II star in the Reticulum constellation have conditions suitable for life?Does the fourth planet out from the Zeta Reticuli II star in the Reticulum constellation have...?It would be very surprising, given the situation of the star itself and its companion (it is a double star -- double systems are not friendly to any planets).



Also, the stars (I and II) are "metal deficient". A "metal", in astronomy, is anything heavier than helium. A "metal deficient" star is normally stuck with only gas planets (not enough solid materials for a terrestrial planet).

The idea that there could be a planet with life around Zeta Reticuli was invented by Nancy, based on some dreams she had.



She claimed that her dreams were messages from a civilization living on that planet. They were warning us (though her dreams) that a rogue planet was crossing our solar system and would put Earth in danger. This is the planet that was later named "Planet X".



It was supposed to pass close to us in May-June 2003 and cause all kinds of problems (most of which are used in Roland's movie "2012").



Of course, when the planet failed to show up in 2003, Nancy had to change her story. She picked a new date in 2011.



However, other charlatans were already making lots of money from her story. They were selling books on how to survive and some were even selling seats on spacecrafts that the aliens on Zeta Reticuli were sending to save a portion of humanity. (These spacecrafts became the Arks in Roland's movie).



The charlatans also needed a new hoax after June 2003. They did not stick with Nancy's date of 2011. Insatead, they picked a date from another lie (invented by yet another charlatan): the end of the Mayan calendar.

The idea of an inhabitable planet around Zeta 2 Reticuli comes from a 1979 movie by Ridley Scott (the famous movie "Alien").Does the fourth planet out from the Zeta Reticuli II star in the Reticulum constellation have...?There have been no confirmed planets identified in the Zeta Reticuli systems. The Idea that Zeta Reticuli is the home of aliens is actually from the Betty and Barney Hill UFO abduction report. Betty drew a star map she saw on the alien ship under hypnosis, and "experts" cross-checked it with patterns of G-type stars only. The match is a very bad fit, however, and doesn't at all indicate conclusively that Zeta Reticuli is the star on the map that Betty drew. Carl Sagan once said that the fit is so bad, he's suprized they couldn't find a better one.



I agree with Raymond, by the way. Nancy Lieder is definitely a quack. I've heard one of her interviews, and she is totally crazy or trying to get attention. I suspect there is an element of both. I know a quack when I hear one, and she is solid gold.
