Mayan Calendar Doomsday Prophecy: Space Weather Forecast on December 21, 2012
In the combined U.S. Air Force and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Solar Geophysical Activity Report and Forecast copy released on December 20, there is no space weather threat on the much talked about doomsday end of the Mayan Calendar today, December 21.
The forecast report only identified a 1% chance of a powerful Class X solar flare or a major solar geomagnetic storm in planet Earth's mid-latitudes from December 20 - 22, 2012.
According to the latest observations on the solar active regions, the solar activity level in the past 24 hours has been very low.
The geomagnetic filed is forecasted to maintain its calm levels in the next two days including the much talked about Mayan calendar's doomsday end. The ACE spacecraft was able to measure the solar wind speed that hit the highest point at approximately 500 km/s.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) still continue in dismissing the questions whether Earth will end this year.
"The world will not end in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012. The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth," NASA stated.
"This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003 but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012, hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012," NASA further explained.
When asked for confirmation if planet Earth is threatened to be hit with a meteor, NASA declared that Earth has just always been a target for comet or asteroid impacts.
"Today NASA astronomers are carrying out a survey called the Spaceguard Survey to find any large near-Earth asteroids long before they hit. All this work is done openly with the discoveries posted every day on the NASA Near-Earth Object Program Office website, so you can see for yourself that nothing is predicted to hit in 2012," NASA declared.
