This is when the earth, sun, and the center of the galaxy are all lined up.

Some folks claim that galactic alignment will cause bad things to happen,

but that's nonsense because this alignment happens every year around

mid-December.

What planets will lineup on December 21 2012?

On December 21, 2012, there was no significant planetary alignment that could have led to any catastrophic event. Some interpretations suggested a rare alignment between Earth, the Sun, and the galactic center, but this alignment is a regular occurrence every year. It's important to rely on scientific evidence and critical thinking rather than myths or misinformation.


What is the radius of a galactic cluster?

Galactic clusters can vary widely in size, ranging from a few million light-years to tens of millions of light-years in diameter. The exact radius of a specific galactic cluster would depend on its size and composition.


Where is planet alignment?

Alignment is an abstract noun and as such it does not possess position.


What season is the earth closest to the galactic center?

What an interesting question, what made you think of it? Well lets see if I can answer it for you. The constellation of Orion (the hunter) is a winter constellation (i.e. you can only see it in winter when the earth is on the same side of the sun to where Orion is. Now if you look at the link I will place below, you will see that the spiral arm of our galaxy in which the Orion constellation is to be found is called the 'local spur' and this is outside the orbit that the sun makes round the galactic center. This means that in winter the sun would be between the earth and the galactic center. Thus the answer to your question is that the season when Earth is closest to the galactic center is Northern Hemisphere Summer. The galactic center is to be found in the constellation of Sagittarius (Sagittarius A). This is the same time the earth is 5 million miles further away from the sun. Is it perhaps the gravity of the galaxy that is pulling on our earths orbit as well, making it slightly elliptic? One can not argue that the gravity of the galaxy is not keeping the solar system and all the othe stars in orbit around it! I would like to calculate what that gravitational force must be to balance the solar systems centripetal force acting to fling it outward.

What is the Galactic Eclipse?

The Galactic Eclipse is a rare celestial event that occurs when the Galactic Center aligns with the Earth and the Sun. This alignment can create a dramatic visual effect resembling an eclipse of the Galactic Center as seen from Earth.


What is the significance of the galactic alignment of December 12 2012?

There will not be a galactic alignment on that date. This is all part of the 2012 hoax, it is impossible to say when a galactic alignment will occur. Our sun orbits a super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. You have to take into account the suns position, its angle and its rotation as well as many other things. 2012 is fake, and everything about it is a hoax, send me a message for more info on it as i don't want to clog up the page.
