The bad astronomy website doesnt seem to think so. The earth and Sun never align to the galactic center...this is what one guy said..
There will have to be a considerable shift in the location of the ecliptic in the next five years for this to happen. Please check out the star map on
this page.
www.astro.uiuc.edu...
The ecliptic is the Sun's path through the sky as seen from Earth. The galactic center is the 0o marking on the galactic equator just to the east of
Gamma-2 Sagittarii.
As you can see, the two locations are separated by more than 5 degrees of arc (~10+ lunar diameters). Based on shifts in stellar locations, the path
of the Sun around the galactic center, and other factors, this relationship will be almost exactly the same five years from now.
BTW, precession of the Earth's axis is a non-factor since it doesn't affect the Earth's orbit and thus the apparent path of the Sun through the
sky.
Thus on the Winter Solstice in 2012, the Sun will have just crossed the galactic equator (as it does every year at that time), but it will not be
aligned with the galactic center.
A general note: it can be very misleading to expect good science in conspiracy theories.
Oh and im not trying to debunk anything you are saying...i was more looking forward to the fact of something like a galactic alignment happening in my
lifetime...but obviously it never happens...
