I ran across this a while back can't remember the source, but could this be Planet X/Nibiru?
This will truly turn the western astronomers' minds inside and out.

"According to Vedic Astronomy, the most ancient and accurate system of astronomy on the
planet, solar eclipses are not caused by the Moon coming in front of the Sun as astronomers
believe. Rather the Moon is described as being further away than the Sun and what happens at
the time of a solar eclipse is the Moon goes behind the Sun and a dark planet called Rahu
comes between the Sun and the Earth. Considering this, Rāhu, the black planet, covered the
full moon, and immediately vibrations of “Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa! Hari!” inundated the three worlds."
“It appears from these verses that aside from the sun and moon,
there is an invisible planet called Rāhu. The movements of Rāhu
cause both solar and lunar eclipses“
pg.7

Rāhu (Sanskrit: राहु)(U+260A.svg) is one of the nine major astronomical bodies (navagraha) in Hindu texts. Unlike most of the others, Rahu is a shadow entity, one that causes eclipses and is the king of meteors.[1] Rahu represents the ascension of the moon in its precessional orbit around the earth.
Rahu is usually paired with Ketu which is also considered to be a shadow planet. The time of day considered to be under the influence of Rahu is called Rāhu kāla and is considered inauspicious.[2]
As per Hindu astrology Rahu and Ketu have an orbital cycle of 18 years and are always 180 degrees from each other orbitally (as well as in the birth charts). This coincides with the precessional orbit of moon or the ~18 year rotational cycle of the lunar ascending and descending nodes on the earth's ecliptic plane. This also corresponds to a saros, a period of approximately 223 synodic months (approximately 6585.3211 days, or 18 years, 11 days, 8 hours), that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon. Rahu rules the zodiac sign of Aquarius together with Shani.
Astronomically, Rahu and Ketu denote the points of intersection of the paths of the Sun and the Moon as they move on the celestial sphere. Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are respectively called the north and the south lunar nodes. The fact that eclipses occur when the Sun and the Moon are at one of these points gives rise to the understanding of swallowing of the Sun and the Moon by the snake. Rahu is responsible for causing the Eclipse of the Sun.

Edit Note: This is where I did first hear about Rahu and Ketu.
