NASA Debunks Galactic Alignment

Bobby Doomsday — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 10:44:38 +0000

The Galactic Alignment was originally promoted by John Major Jenkins, and then it became a mutant meme. So mutated that journalists ask me about the planetary alignment of 2012 (there isn’t one). There’s two ways of looking at:

1. The ancient Mayans cared about the Dark Rift (which is where the galactic center is) and were very accurate at predicting when it would align with the solstice Sun.

2. Some physical or mystical effect will occur due to the alignment.

Regarding the latter, the alignment was at its most aligned in 1998, and nothing has happened. And in terms of physics, the only force that could have any effect is gravity, and the galactic center is too far away to be meaningful. NASA describe this well:

Second, Earth is not within range of strong gravitational effects from the black hole at the center of the galaxy since gravitational effects decrease exponentially the farther away one gets. Earth is 93 million miles from the sun and 165 quadrillion miles from the Milky Way’s black hole.

So, I agree with NASA and their latest debunk. But I have one criticism – they repeat what many scientists say:

Third, the sun appears to enter the part of the sky occupied by the Dark Rift every year at the same time, and its arrival there in Dec. 2012 portends precisely nothing.

In our lifetimes this is roughly true, but over hundreds of years the solstice sun moves out of alignment with the galactic center, and any NASA scientist should know that. Or they need to learn about precession.

FIXED: 2012 Debunked – Excellent Video

Note: This video was removed from YouTube, but has turned up again, so I’ve updated this, and there’s a permanent link to the video as well now.

Although a good portion of my life is dedicated to promoting the need to prepare for the worst in 2012, the amount of misinformation and bad science out there bothers me a lot. Consequently I love it when someone puts time and effort into creating a 2012 video like this one:

It’s well worth watching for anyone who wants to understand what the “galactic alignment” is all about, and what it isn’t.

New Galactic Alignment book

Robert Bast — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 04:28:00 +0000

A new book is out this month, 2012 and the Galactic Center: The Return of the Great Mother. Fortunately for the author and the publisher, most people are not aware that the alignment actually happened in 1998. While I won’t be buying this book, I am curious to know whether Christine R Page lets her readers in on this little secret…
