What's the Buzz About 2012?

This has been a popular topic lately. There are many answers to this question. Some say it is the end of the world and many other things. I am going to talk about what I know about this topic. (Just because it fascinates me)

So I have a friend that is a discovery channel freak like me. We both are space and astronomy fanatics. And I asked him what is supposed to be going on in 2012, everyone is talking about it? He told me the theory he knows. It started out that people noticed the ancient Mayans had made calendars for every year, thousands of years ahead of their time. People today noticed that it suddenly ends in December 2012. My original though was “Well they had to end somewhere. They couldn’t have made calendars for the entire infinite future.”

What we know about our solar system is that Pluto is the farthest planet from the sun. But there has always been talk that there is the possibility of the existence of other planets past Pluto; too far away to see. In ancient history many civilizations have recorded about a planet (widely known now as Neberu). This planet is supposedly HUGE. It is thought that it has an elliptical orbit and one rotation around the sun will take thousands of years. It is said that the ancient Mayans predicted its return; when it will make its way close to the sun and earth. The planet is supposed to be so big that its gravitational pull will stop the rotation and revolution of the earth, for god knows how long. This can mean the end of the world because the side of the earth facing the sun will eventually become too hot to be habitable. The side facing away from the sun will freeze! This is quite the rumour! But is it true? Well.....we have only about 4 years to know!
