Podcast: Alignment with the Galactic Plane, Destruction from Venus, and the Death of the Solar System
Written by Astronomy Cast
Artist impression of a galaxy.
Another week, another roundup of your questions. This week listeners asked: are we all going to die in 2012 when the solar system passes through the galactic plane? Did Venus make the Moon? And what will extraterrestrials see when the Sun is dead and gone? And there's even more. If you've got a question for the Astronomy Cast team, please email it in to info@astronomycast.com and we'll try to tackle it for a future show.

Galactic plane is potentially dangerous during aliignment, because central black hole in our galaxy has the strongest emissions, radiation on poles and in equatorial plane. Density of our galactic matter is the biggest, so radiation too in our galactic plane,…

Destruction from Venus is well known since ancient times. Venus during transits, during inferior conjunctions reinforces gravitational-tidal forces from Moon and from Sun-especially during spring tides. When Earth, Moon, Venus and Sun are circa in-line so spring tides could be about 1/3 stronger than normally. So we have stronger tides, more earthquakes, floods, vulcanoes' explosions, storms,…Those things were represented by pentagram encircled by two circles. It represent positions of 5 Venus inferior (down) conjunctions during 8 years- it makes pentagram and circles around pentagram are orbits of Venus and of Sun. There were strong earthquakes after Venus transits: in 2004/tsunami super strong earthquake in Sumatra. Krakatoa explosion with tsunami in 1883,.Another super strong vulcanoes explosion in 416 A.D.,…Chinese scientiest made proofs for significant tidal influence of Venus during their many years long recording of vater level on big chineses lakes.

I don't think any of you idiots listened to this, you just seem to want to spread you guilliable bullshit views. Seriously, get a life and worry about something that matters like the worlds economies. Who do you think knows more a bunch of scare mongering bullshit authors trying to make money, or scientists who have experience in the field of the solar system. You guys are almost as stupid as the people who caused the economic mess in the U.S.

Pavel, that's part of it.
A good chunk of it was the government telling us to "buy, buy and buy". So we did. Does that make it ok? No. When the government tells you to do something, especially when it involves buying things with money they don't have, people for the most part are going to do it.
There was a safeguard called "bankruptcy". It's great! Buy all kinds of crap you don't need and/or can't pay for, including homes, and then settle your debt for a minimal amount and the companies and lending institutions you bought from get to eat it.
I have credit debt, but it's under $100 on two credit cards that get used very very sporadically. I just hope that we all come out of this economic crap storm much financially wiser than we went into it.
