Here is a link to a 2012 defense kit I found while reading this article on
Sky and Telescope.com. In it you will find discussion as to why there is
nothing to worry about in few years. This was written by E. C. Krupp, Ph.D.
E. C. Krupp, Ph.D., an accomplished astronomer, author, and science educator, is an internationally renowned expert on ancient astronomy, including
the Maya, and has visited nearly 1,900 ancient and prehistoric sites throughout the world.
I don't buy into the 2012 thing one bit, but I work with a lot of people who know that I study astronomy and they tend to ask me all kinds of
questions once they hear about it. I found this article useful in answering some of their questions that I was not sure of.
For example: "zomg teh planets are going to be aligned on December 21st 2012", when in truth, anyone with any kind of planatary software (TheSky,
Stellarium) knows this to be false.
Anywho, I thought that this was interesting and that it would be worth sharing with my fellow ATS'rs, and to quite possiblt put some anxious minds at
ease.
