　　The world is not coming to an end on December 21,2017，the US space agency insisted Monday in a rare campaign to dispel widespread rumors fueled by the Internet and a new Hollywood movie.

　　The latest big screen offering from Sony Picture,2017，arrives in theaters on Friday，with a 200milliondollar production about the end of the world supposedly based on myths(虚构的故事)backed by the Mayan calendar.It is claimed that the end of time will come as a Planet X—or Nibiru—heads toward or collides with the Earth.

　　Some websites accuse NASA of hiding the truth on the planet's existence，but the US space agency denounced such stories as an “Internet hoax(恶作剧)”．“There is no factual basis for these claims，”NASA said in a questionandanswer posting on its website.“If such a collision were real，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.Credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2017，”it insisted.“After all，our planet has been getting along just well for more than four billion years，”added NASA.
