NASA today published a forecast for a “big and intense” new solar cycle in 2011 or 2012, which its suggests will wreak havoc on satellite GPS and telecommunications, power grids and air traffic.

NASA says the next solar cycle, Solar Cycle 24, “could make itself felt as never before.”

We are now at the end of Solar Cycle 23 (see graphic, and excerpts, below), according to the U.S. space agency.

It may not look like much, but “this patch of magnetism could be a sign of the next solar cycle,” says solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center.

    All NASA says is that there will be a new solar cycle…Cylce 24! Everyone else is believing the Mayans because they said the world would end. Just because these two event are around the same time does not mean there is a connection.
    Stop believing in the Mayans and try believing in the True God. No one knows when the world will end…all we know is that it is going to happen. That is all we will every know.

    What a coincident ..if we add numeric..it count 3.
    month 12 1+2 = 3
    Date 12 2+1 = 3
    Year 12 (Consider 2000 as end of one cycle of years)
    1 +2 = 3
    21st century which is 2+1 = 3

    Holy molly.!

    I think this is stupid. If people open their eyes and look at what each other on this blog is saying. Dec. 21 2012 the end! No Dec. 23, 2012! Solar shift is gonna kill us all. No it’s a huge planet that’s gonna kill us. No a calander comes to an end ahhhhh. Our calander comes to an end every year does that mean we die every year the calander flips??? No. And anyways the mayan calander does more than just simply end it predicts that the world will suffer a great flood. If you believe in the bible you can’t beleive in the Mayans because in the bible the Lord said that he would never destroy the world again with waters and gave the rainbow as a promise. I think all the calanders come to the same conclusion though that in a alignment that rarely happens and they all saw this. That’s about it something they have never seen of course they would think it’s the end of the world for something they have never seen. Plus back then everyone was into reading the stars and planets as if it really had major effects to the planet and or ones self. How many prophecies have we heard that have NEVER CAME TRUE!!!! Many! and I’m sure that after we survive this one like we survived the WORLDS GOING TO END IN 2000. I’m sure the next person looking to make money off a book or movie will usher in a new date for doomsday to entertain people who are willing to believe anything.

    No one ever said the world would end in 2000. There was just the possibility that computers would shutdown. This is different . 2012 was based on several civilizations and it wasn’t said the world would end but was stated as “The beginning of a new age.” I think aliens may visit. They are shown in cave drawings and paintings in every civilzation around the world since humans have existed.

    Wow this shits starting to freak the shit out of me!! Me and my friends have talked about this, and it scares the shit out of me every time, I have told my family about this and they think I am crazy!! Most people are blinded by the coming of the END OF THE WORLD. Everybody just prepared for Judgement Day!

    We need to worry about 2012, not because of the sun, because of our own governments. Astrologically, 2012 represents the coming of the new age, Aquarius, and end of the old age, Pisces. So take the Jesus fishes off your car and replace them with a man carrying a water pitcher. I’m sure, however, that our governments have something special in store for us on this date. Keep your eyes and ears opened and don’t get caught up in the hysteria.

    We all need to wake up …….& fast!….This upcoming date 21.12.2012 is by far the most significant, going back nearly 5 or 6 thousand years. Honestly, hand on my heart….i dont know whats in store for us…..but what i can say is that there is something which is happening right now!!!…and that is too do with time speeding up!….if you dont understand what i am saying then please visit my blog!

    According to the Mayan calendar it’s just the end of a period of 26.000 years, and the start of a new one. But yeah, people have a lot of fantasy, hence why religion exists, and people like to cause a fuss. We’ll see what happens, but if nothing happens what is predicted in religion, I wonder which excuse they will use now lol. If something is bound to happen, I hope it’s something aimed specifically at religious extremists.

    from the beginning human has invented gods, all kinds on this earth and little have understood the meaning of evolution. Like gods, human have also created religion, prediction, prophecies and spiritual things. But we never dare to realize our own abilities to conceive things, minds that have able to almost create anything. So, there is nothing to worry about doomsday or the 2012. It was again invented by some fanatics who love to scare people and enjoy in doing so.

    I dont know about this end of times date of 2012..but I do know its made me think about my personal life. Even if this date comes and goes, I have made some personal changes and found a beliefe system. Some may say I’m scared and that my faith is based on fear..but really its not. I just believe that we are so caught up in material things and keeping up with the JONEs that we as humans forget to search out what this all means and why we are here… I dont think there is one way… as I like to say “doesn’t matter how you get there…just get there”

    stop fearing people and get a life!

    Something is brewing, but it’s not the end. If the world were to come to an end what could you do about it anyway? If the world were to be sent into chaos what will you do join in it? I am listening and watching as a witness of what is to come. I am not afraid and will not allow fear to dictate my actions. If you are afraid of the unknown then you must live in fear all the time. Let it all go and live each moment, value every moment, look though the eyes of amazement because everyday no matter how crappy is wonderful you only have to open your heart and mind to it. 2012 will come no matter what, Be Not Afraid. BTW- telling people to get a life is arrogant.

    Nostradamus along with other prophets has predicted similar to what the Mayan calendar has. Don’t you think it’s ironic as well as strange that NASA is building this International Space Station and trying to grow plants and crops in space as well as contain a fire. Also doing test to see the affects of gravity on the bones over an “EXTENDED” period of time? Come on now, we can’t all be that closed minded are we..? The destruction of Earth was by water and God predicts fire next time. Well the true alignment will cause all the tetonic plates to shifts and the earth to open wide as volcanoes will erupt unlike anything before time began. Think about it. God is in the heavens and he sacrificed Jesus for us, his cometh is what we could perceive to be an alien. Hmmm.
