Thread: Solar System "Giant Shift" Approaching?

its not every 13,000 years, we align with the center of the galaxy every 26,000 years.
oddly enough, we are 26,000 light years from the center of the universe. interesting.

I think we are going to see some huge changes in the next 4 years. we will be living in a different world in the very near future.

Yeah baby, countdown to 2012!!!

What do you all mean by "align with the center of the galaxy"?
For the record, (according to wikipedia) our sun is somewhere between 23.8 - 25.9 kilo-light-years from the center of the galaxy. I think it has an elliptical path - where 23.8 and 25.9 are the perihelion and aphelion, but I'm not certain.

In the center of our galaxy, and every galaxy (I think), theres a massive blackhole.
on december 21, 2012, we will be perfectly aligned with the center of the galaxy. moon > earth > sun > center of galaxy.
it happens every 26,000 years or so, on the winter solstice.

No, it happens twice every 26,000 years. Every 26,000 years it happens during the winter solstice (what is approaching) but then 13,000 years from now it'll happen again on a summer solstice.

I don't get this, the solar system is always aligned with the center of the galaxy, it's a radius... It's like saying that a point on the edge of a circle is aligned with the circle's center .

Unless, you mean a planetary "alignment" (I use the term loosely because it's impossible for the planets to align, since they have different orbital planes)? Is that what you mean?

Well apart from the fact that at this event the sun will be in a direct line with the earth and the center of the galaxy the "disk" that makes up our solar system and the "disk" of the galaxy aren't always lined up.

Obviously this blackhole moves away, right? RIGHT? i don't wanna get sucked in. Obviously i'm dumb, it has to or this planet would not be billions of years old.
