Alcyone (η Tau, η Tauri, Eta Tauri) is a star system in the constellation Taurus. It is the brightest star in the Pleiades open cluster, which is a young cluster, aged at less than 50 million years. Alcyone is approximately 370 light years from Earth. It is named after the mythological figure Alcyone, one of the mythological Pleiades. It is known as 昴宿六 (the Sixth Star of the Hairy Head) in Chinese.
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. With a visual apparent magnitude of −1.46, it is almost twice as bright as Canopus, the next brightest star. The name "Sirius" is derived from the Ancient Greek: Σείριος Seirios ("glowing" or "scorcher"). The star has the Bayer designation Alpha Canis Majoris (α CMa). What the naked eye perceives as a single star is actually a binary star system, consisting of a white main-sequence star of spectral type A1V, termed Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA2, called Sirius B. The distance separating Sirius A from its companion varies between 8.1 and 31.5 AU.[18]
What will happen is our Earth, Sun, Alcyone, and Sirius will align on this date.

That doesn't make much sense. You can draw a line between Sirius and Alcyone and the Sun does cross it but that happens every day.
But there is no way Earth can "align" with the Sun, Alcyone, and Sirius because neither Alcyone or Sirius lie on the ecliptic.

The sun does not revolve around Alcyone, its revolves around the center of the galaxy.

You are right in the saying our sun rotates around the center of the milky way, but first it rotates around Alcyone and Alcyone rotates around Sirius and Sirius rotates all (our sun, Alcyone) with it around the milky way.edit on 19-12-2012 by storm2012 because: (no reason given)
but first it rotates around Alcyone and Alcyone rotates around Sirius and Sirius rotates all (our sun, Alcyone)
The alignment that i am writing about didn't come from my mind, but from people who actually study the ancient cultures for years and i call them the true knowledge of astronomy.

False.
You know that Alcyone is much further from Earth than Sirius is, right?
No. On second thought you probably don't know that.edit on 12/19/2012 by Phage because: (no reason given)

Really? Distance has nothing to do with the orbit?
Interesting.
You mean an object can orbit a more distant and smaller object which is orbiting a larger and closer object instead of that larger and closer object. That must be a pretty interesting looking orbit.

Sure. But not this Friday.
Your "alignment" is nonsense.

The night of May 4, 2000, was the eve of one of the most exciting, powerful, and transformative celestial events of our millennium according to astronomy and astrology experts. It began with the darkest night in living memory... no moon or planet lit up the sky as the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were hidden from human eyes behind the Sun. The next morning, May 5th, at 8:08 a.m. Universal Time, the longitudinal span of these five planets, Sun and Moon collimated within a geocentric (Earth-centered) sector of 27 degrees of the Constellation of Taurus in our Milky Way galaxy, forming a “Grand Planetary Alignment.”
Synchronistically, the planets on this date were also in alignment with the great central Sun of the Pleiades cluster, plus the current eleven-year sunspot cycle was be at its peak. Many cultures, including the Mayans and Hopi, have a prophecy predicting the May 5th Grand Planetary Alignment and this time, "the birth of the New Age of Enlightenment" - The Age of Aquarius. On the Mayan calendar, May 5th marked the end of the 5th Sun and the birth of the 6th Sun.
