Best answer:
Answer by urwumpeso far, only taking the sun away. by orbital mechanics you could create a long solar eclipse, but no permanent. A nuclear winter could engulf the whole Earth in clouds, shading the sun.
But as it is going to be a movie, feel free to be unrealistic, as long as you can manage three things:
1. Entertain.
2. Entertain.
3. Manage a suspension of disbelief: Make it impossible for people to question your logic before the movie is over.

Question by Michael: Is something going to happen between May 20th, 2012 and June 6th or just after?
I know the solar eclipse is going to happen on may 20 , 2012 but I just saw video saying that theirs going to be a big earthquake and that Nostradamus and Mayans predicted something was going to happen. Is it true what is really going to happen in 2 days I know the solar eclipse but anything else? Should I be worry about? Is the world going to end on December 21, 2012 ? I'm really scare right now

Answer by Vic RattleheadYes, the people that lived 1400 years ago predicted the exact date of the exact natural disaster of something that will happen in a place they didn't even know about at the time using the stars.

The Mayan calendar ends December 21, 2012. It's the end of something called the Long Cycle. As soon as it ends, a new one begins. They just didn't record it. It's like the end of the year. The world doesn't end when there are no more days in the year, a new year just starts instead.
