Doomsday 2012, Issues Disaster of Space

To make sure the end of 2012, the expiration of the originator of the issue of gathering 13 baktun Long Count Mayan calendar with various astronomical phenomena. A number of events are common place space processed into extraordinary events that it says could lead to the destruction of Earth.

On December 21, the day of Resurrection issues considered by the originator of the end of the day, the Sun is located in the constellation Sagittarius. Far behind, the center of the Milky Way was a black hole of mass 4 million times the mass of the Sun.

Collinear Earth, the Sun, the center of the galaxy is accused of going to rip the Sun and other members of the solar system. Tidal forces of the Galactic center will be greater because the sun was in the galaxy.

The position of the sun that leads to the center of the Milky Way is real. This is a regular event that occurs every December 21. This condition has not changed, even though the sun continued to revolve around the center of the galaxy for 250 million years. It's not special.

"The direction of the Earth to the center of the galaxy does not cause any problems. It was just a sense of direction, "said the lecturer galactic structure Studies Program Astronomy Institut Teknologi Bandung, M Ikbal Arifyanto, Tuesday (12/04/2012).

In astronomy, the center of the Milky Way is still an area of ​​"gray", exact position could not be determined. Milky Way Center is believed to be in the area of ​​Sagittarius A *. If the binoculars in the visual wavelengths, the area is just the dark areas, but emit very powerful radio waves.

The black hole is going to draw objects within a certain distance limitations. The sun is about 30,000 light-years (285 000 trillion miles) from the center of the Milky Way. Now, the sun 5 billion years old and remain in his position, not a black hole sucked.

Sun also was not in the galaxy. Bambang Hidayat in "Kosmophobia 2012: One insight Astronomy Stating that Apokaliptika Will not Happen in 2012" in the journal Sosiohumanika Volume 3 Number 1 of 2010 said, the Sun on December 21, 2012 is at a distance of 100 light years from the Galactic plane. Finally, he passed the field 3 million years ago.

The sun was moving to the north (above the Galactic disc), toward the stretch. He will be back across the field of the galaxy at 10 million years. If the Sun is in the field of the galaxy, the impact of tidal forces of the Sun's center of galaxy collisions for mosquitoes to humans.

Collision

Another issue that accompanies the end of 2012 is tertabraknya Earth by Planet X and Planet Nibiru, two imaginary planets.

Ian O'Neil in 2012: No Planet X on the site universetoday.com, May 25, 2008, stating, Planet X is shorthand for naming celestial bodies the size of the supposed planet. The object which had called Planet X, among others discovered Pluto in 1930. Pluto is suspected as triggers disruption of Neptune's orbit.

Search Planet X is now more focused on objects the size of Pluto. He is thought to exist in the Kuiper Belt, the region of the solar system beyond Neptune Astronomy Unit 30-50 (Sun-Earth distance). Besides Pluto, the object to be found in this area such as Orcus, Quaoar, Eris and Sedna.

The term Nibiru appeared in the book The Twelfth Planet written by Zecharia Sitchin, 1976, which is regarded as an imaginative essay based on the ancient texts of the Sumerians (Iraq) 6,000 years ago. Nibiru is a planet driven by aliens (aliens) Annunaki to visit Earth. Annunaki modify the Earth to be human primates in order to take care of the Earth. He prophesied return to Earth in 2012 and create terror.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration United States (NASA) has denied the existence of these two fictional planet. If planets do exist and approached the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have detected at least 10 years ago.

"If the form of the planet is not clear what should be scared of?" Said researcher Astronomy and Astrophysics Institute of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Emanuel Sungging Mumpuni, Amateur Astronomy Association in discussions Jakarta, Saturday (08/12/2012).

Besides those two imaginary planets, other celestial bodies that are rumored to be slammed into Earth asteroids and comets. Earth is vulnerable hit by two objects. However, the last recorded collision occurred 65 million years ago that allegedly caused the dinosaurs became extinct.

Although the threat is real, lecturer dynamics of small objects in the Solar System, Astronomy, ITB, Budi Philanthropy, said the man is ready to anticipate. NASA Space Guard Survey monitor objects that could potentially striking the Earth.

There are at least three asteroids approaching Earth, that is 4179 Toutatis approaching Earth on 12 December, 99 942 Apophis on January 9, 2013, and 2012 DA14 on February 15, 2013. The study stated that the asteroid's orbit, nobody would hit Earth. "They were just passing near Earth. It is often the case, "he said.

Comet approaching Earth rarer. Most of the habitat comets in the Oort cloud, marginalized regions in the solar system directly adjacent to the area of ​​another star.

When passed by the Solar nebula or other stars, comets can be disrupted balance and fell in the Sun's gravity. Perilously close to the Sun, sublimation material on the surface of the comet increased up to look radiant and tail.

"Comets are usually detected around Jupiter. If there is a comet approaches the Earth, surely now been detected, "said Budi. From the Oort cloud to Jupiter, comets take years. Similarly from Jupiter to Earth. Therefore, the issue of the existence of comets, asteroids, Planet X, or Nibiru approaching the Earth and threatening the sustainability of life are considered speculative.
