Massive unknown planet approaching Earth. Is this a bug?

What the blazes is this?! This was taken in Sol System right outside ESD.

Earth isn't this close to any other planets, even in our solar system. Is this a part of a story arc? or is this a bug?

    Borg?

    Went and took a look, out past the moon, that's for sure but nothing shows up when you depart Sol and look at it from space.
    Positive thoughts.

    I don't know, but the gravitational forces of bringing in a planet that close to Earth would not be fixable. I'm talking planets getting knocked out of orbit kind of disaster.

    This is one of those planets knocked out of its orbit by Q's son.

    It's too big to be a space station! :p

    Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

    A sphere built by the Sphere Builders? Or maybe just some graphical glitch? I have no idea.

    Nero put that planet there so Spock could have a front row seat to watch Earth implode. When Nero's plan failed, some enterprising Ferengi turned it into a sports bar.

    It's probably Venus, it's just way too big for the distance.

    Well luckily for the Earth ... it's currently got thousands of ships floating around in its orbit that can all individually generate a gravity well. I think we can move that rogue planet out of the earth's path and save the day!

    Ceti Alpha Six exploded six months after we were left here. The shock shifted the orbit of this planet and everything was laid waste. 'Admiral' Kirk never bothered to check on our progress.

    Idk if we have a ship with a compartment big enough to hold blue wales... we might be screwed this time.

    Which leaves us with one of the major plot holes in WoK...

    If the Ceti system had already been mapped... why did they not note the loss of a planet, and go... "Hmmmm... something is off here..."

    This is Star Trek. The Federation misplaces planets all the time. Just look at the one hovering near ESD...

    Blues aren't that big and targetting and anti-grav have gotten better...plus the KT Connie-class likes the water.

    plus im sure if a tiny BoP can hold humpbacks, im sure theres a ship out there somewhere.... such as the jupiter, that could fit some whales in it...
