Oh, for.....the love of science!!
This is an alignment date.
Would you mind explaining just how some arbitrary "alignment" of a few celestial bodies of rock that are MILLIONS of kilometers apart can have any kind of effect?!?
Why do people fall for this hype, and ridiculous, NON-scientific claptrap? Do people have that poor an understanding of physics???
What is "alignment" supposed to mean, anyway? Is it .....gravity? If so, it is ludicrous I hope people will crack open a book and learn about it. There is more gravity affecting the Earth coming from the Moon...because it is close to us...than anything that could influence Earth from over 20,000,000 km away.....something that's only about 10 km in diameter, at most. Say, the size of a small mountain. Heck....the ALPS have more affect on you, than Elenin can!! Because of proximity.....
Any other "alignment" mumbo-jumbo to spew? Do rational, reasoned people still believe this crap?
BTW...."September 27"??? Run the JPL animation again, from the OP on top of Page #1.
Fast-forward, then freeze it on that date...and just LOOK at it!! Not only is "alignment" a myth....it isn't even shown to be any sort of "alignments", at all!
As if any "one day" makes any difference, either....on the huge size and scale of the Solar System we're looking at....
