Surrealism in 2012: Toward the World of the Fifth Sun
Mayan prophecy leads to burst of surrealist art By Ron Schira The Mayan calendar marks the 2012 winter solstice as the beginning of what they called the 14th baktun, or the fifth cycle and rebirth of the sun. In our calendar terminology this is about 5,500 years. Adapting this ancient system and the symbolic reference to the current end-of-the-world hysteria, scores of surrealist artists and writers worldwide have contributed their art to a symposium of sorts that has now become an exhibit on view through … Continue reading
Was Phobos downed by the Sun or a technical flaw?
Did a catastrophic Solar Flare knock out Russia’s Phobos satellite? The fall of Russia’s Phobos space probe might have been caused by a solar flare, an intergovernmental commission reported to the Roskosmos state agency on Thursday. However, some experts have offered other versions of the crash. According to the commission, a cloud of plasma released during the November 4 solar flare remained active for the following 10 days and could have affected the probe’s launch. These experts believe that a technical or construction failure was … Continue reading

2012 Solar flare disrupts flight communication — and lights up night sky by David B. Nelson Jan 25, 2012 While 2012 prophets may interpret Sunday’s [January 22, 2012] massive solar flare activity as a sign of doomsday, scientists say not to worry, especially if you are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the northern lights. But airlines are still urged to exercise caution. The flare was classified as a M8.7 Coronal Mass Ejection, a moderate event despite being called the biggest and strongest activity … Continue reading

Solar flare space storm affects satellites and airlines
January 22, 2012 Solar Flare causes significant radiation storm but experts say most communication systems are unaffected Radiation from the largest solar flare in more than six years shouldn’t adversely affect communications or technology for most people on earth, experts say. Doug Biesecker, a physicist at the US Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado, said that while the solar flare has caused problems for some GPS systems, airline communications systems and satellites over the past day or two, most people around the world won’t … Continue reading

Solar storms may cause cellphones to drop calls
On Sunday, January 22, 2012, a massive explosion on the sun known as a solar flare sent an ejection of some of the sun’s plasma hurtling toward earth at the ungodly speed of 1,000 kilometers…per second! No need to worry about being hit by flying sun plasma though — that will zoom right past Earth and race toward the edge of the solar system, according to Harlan Spence, principal investigator for the Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRaTER) instrument onboard NASA’s Lunar … Continue reading
10 Things To Do to Survive 2012

In 2010, China and Russia agreed to stop trading together in dollars and Japan agreed to do the same with China just last week. Moves like that in 2012 coming from these major economic players only can spell doom for those who rely on the … Continue reading

Another doomsday scenario is making the rounds on the Internet and believers are saying that the world will end on December 21, 2012—the same date that the ancient Mayan calendar ends its 13th cycle.
