Just as there were those who predicted major catastrophes at the dawn of the new millennium, there are some who say the planets will align on the 2012 winter solstice, causing apocalyptic threats. Not only will there be no planetary alignment on that date, according to NASA scientists and other space experts, there also is no other cause for alarm. You can track the planets’ alignment in real time on Claim Your Star©.
Others track the ‘end of the world’ theories to the Mayan calendar, which ends in December 2012. But, as scientists point out, just as the calendar hanging in your kitchen ends in December, so does another long-count period begin for the Mayan calendar. The December 2012 date does not relate to any end-of-the-world predictions.
In reality, alignments aren’t rare. On May 5, 2000, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were more or less positioned in a line with the sun. Another alignment involving Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter happened this last May. In 2040, you’ll be able to look to the east to see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and our moon align.
The past alignments have happened without any consequences. As some scientists point out, the planets are too far away to impact anything on Earth — except perhaps our imaginations
