Could the world end in 2012? Put aside the goofy prophecies of Mayan calendar doomsayers and join us on a journey into the cold, hard science of civilisation ending catastrophe. Predicting the end of the world is both a sure bet and a fool's errand. Eventually, the total destruction of civilisation, the human race, and, indeed, the world is a near certainty. The tricky part about predicting the apocalypse is the timing. But that hasn't stopped people from forecasting impending doom throughout human history. Holy men, ancient astronomers, and even modern computer scientists have all occasionally read the leaves in their occupational cups of tea and concluded that the end is nigh. And, without exception, they have all been wrong.But maybe this year is going to be different. On Dec.21, 2012, the Mayan calendar will reach the end of a 394-year cycle called a Baktun, which has sent end-time aficionados into a frenzy. Archaeologists laugh off that doomsday scenario, explaining that the Mayan calendar is no more momentous than our own calendar ticking over from 1999 to 2000. So that's a relief. Still, just because the Mayans didn't predict the end of the world this particular year doesn't mean our safety is assured. There are plenty of other risks to life on earth that scientists do take seriously. These might range from disasters that threaten millions or billions of people to an all-out "extinction-level event" that wipes out the majority of life on the planet. Below we will take a look at the top 10 ways the world will end in 2012.Asteroid ImpactSpace objects strike the earth all the time, but extinction-level impacts occur only once every 100 million years. After the spectacular collision of the Showmaker-levy 9 comet with Jupiter (and a host of asteroid-disaster flicks) in the 1990s, NASA set out to map all large near-earth objects. But it appears that there are far fewer potential catastrophes in earths neighbourhood than once thought. "A civilisation-killing asteroid would have to be a mile across," says Spahr of the Minor Planet Center. (The space rock that ended the dinosaur era is estimated to have been six times that size.) "There just aren't any asteroids that size out there," he says. There is, however, a large population of as-yet-undiscovered objects several hundred yards across. One that we do know about, a 300-yard-wide asteroid called 99942 Apophis, will pass within the orbits of earth satellites in 2029 and could one day strike the planet. "Worst-case scenario?"

Which is the longest solar eclipse up to date?
Question by crab: Which is the longest solar eclipse up to date?
Ther a number of total solar ecipses.there must be a longest duration of some.

Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments!
The solar eclipse of July 22, 2009 was the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century, lasting as much as 6 minutes and 39 seconds in some places. The eclipse was part of saros series 136, like the record-setting solar eclipse of July 11, 1991. The next event from this series will be on August 2, 2027. The exceptional duration was a result of the moon being near perigee, with the apparent diameter of the moon 8% larger than the sun (magnitude 1.080) and the Earth being near aphelion where the sun appeared slightly smaller. This was the second in the series of three eclipses in a month, with the lunar eclipse on July 7 and the lunar eclipse on August 6.

Q&A: WoW! Significance of Sag Solar eclipse on US Thanksgiving, just as Merc turns retrograde?
Question by ḯґḯṧℌ ẘґ☤ṧ⊥ ẘ@☂ḉ♄: WoW! Significance of Sag Solar eclipse on US Thanksgiving, just as Merc turns retrograde?
Eclipsese are extra energy boosts, and on Nov 24/25, we'll have a Solar eclipse in Sag, just a few hours after Merc goes retrograde in the same sign. Since this retrograde will almost double Mercury's time in Sag, what might be the implication and/or influence of this eclipse?
Anyone want to take a shot at it?
That was a good "shot", Michelle.
I was looking at more of the mundane features of this eclipse...it's rather unusual, the timing of the retrograde, I thought.
Thanks for sharing with us. It's always nice to see you.
Mercury turns at I think 20 degrees Sag, so that's in my 9th house....personally, I'm not seeing a huge affect from this eclipse...
Best answer:
Answer by MichelleI tend to look at the eclipses in the course of their coming up for various nations as well as for my clients. So I flipped through the pages of two ephemerides I have and saw several times when Mercury was already retrograde or had just turned direct. The last *similar* kind of emphasis was on December 4, 2002 when Jupiter went Retrograde 3.5 hours after the eclipse, but Jupiter was in trine to the Solar Eclipse.
It doesn't really matter whether you're looking at a Solar or Lunar Eclipse in relation to mundane transits as they are *unless you are considering the natal chart of an individual, a company or building, or a city, state or nation,* and even then, you must take close notice to all of the transiting dynamics of the moment of the eclipse as it relates to that natal chart. It *must* make a contact to the natal chart by hard aspect. In other words, it isn't just the eclipse point, for example, as you pointed to the Solar Eclipse at 2 Sagittarius 37 on November 25 at 6:11 am GMT; it's any point that any of the planets have touched at that time. (Mercury goes direct, btw, nearly 24 hours before that, at 7:36:57 am GMT.) So if you have a natal planet, for instance, in the range of, say, 25 Sagittarius to 5 Capricorn, then Venus is going to make contact with your natal chart that day. *However,* even the Moon could touch that point sometime after the eclipse and you would feel the impact going back to the eclipse. Depending on what planet it is and how it touches your chart, it can be noticeable or make you wonder what the fuss was all about.
I'm not saying some won't feel the retrograde. If it starts during someone's Lunar Return, that person will have the Retrograde seem to take longer than it does through others' charts. If it starts shortly after your Lunar Return, on the other hand, it's possible you won't even notice it taking as long as the other Mercury retrogrades do. It tends to be relative.
Edit: I'm afraid this might disappoint you, but since the
