I must be missing something
I have a nice application on my iPad that lets me check the position of the
planets for any day I set.
So, having heard a lot about December 21, 2012, I decided to take a look.
One of the things I had been told by the ever reliable History channel is
the planets would be in rough alignment then and that could be what caused
this world ending disaster they’re so willing to talk about now.
I’ll admit, Mercury, Venus and Saturn are pretty close to aligned.
Earth and Jupiter are also pretty close to aligned, even if 1/3 of an orbit
off from the first three.
Mars is off doing its own thing away from all the others.
(Yes, it’s true. I didn’t check Neptune and Uranus. The app I’m using
only gives visible planet locations. But, those are the ones close enough
to cause trouble anyhow. Go back and look at my gravity graph if you don’t
believe me.)
Now, if Jupiter and Earth were opposite from the other three in a line, I’d
say that would still count. But, that isn’t the case.
So, either the Mayans were wrong about an alignment, and they were pretty
good at the astronomy stuff, or someone is trying to shoehorn their data to
fit something good for television shows and movies….
