Lyrids Meteor Shower 2012

Remember how all the major meteor showers in late 2011 were drowned in bright moonlight? It was fun to see meteors streaking along in the moonlight, but... alright, already. Let's have a moonless meteor night! In fact, the next major meteor shower in 2012 - the Lyrid shower in April - will be virtually moon-free. Mark your calendar for the best night - the evening of April 21 until dawn April 22, 2012. The nights before and after might also feature some Lyrid meteors.

About 10 - 20 meteors per hour at peak can be expected. Plus, the Lyrids are known for uncommon surges that can sometimes bring the rate up to 100 per hour. Those are outbursts are not easy to predict, but they're one of the reasons the tantalizing Lyrids are worth checking out. The radiant for this shower is in the constellation Lyra, which rises in the northeast at about 10pm. Fortunately, in 2012, the new moon guarantees a dark sky in the late night and morning hours, the best time to watch the Lyrid shower. As a general rule, the greatest number of Lyrid meteors fall in the dark hours before dawn.

Don't think so much about 2012 Doomsday. NASA had shown that it was just a new cycle of calendar due to Mayan's end of calendar, it same as the end of a standard calendar on 31 December, whereas it is not the end of the world even, it is just a cycle of a new year. The following expected events that will happened in December 2012 come with these explanation:

1) Nibiru/Planet X Collision - Astronomers all around the world is observing the sky every seconds in everyday in every weeks, but they can't observed the approaching of the Planet X to Earth. If that astronomers can't even see them clear, they also did not received any alert from the neighborhood planet nearby. When said that the government is hiding the case as a government top secret, the avoid the panic in the public, but there are a thousands of astronomers in the world. Are the hiding the same secret too? That is funny!

2) Solar Storm - Solar Storm do exist in the world. Solar Storm is seem very active every 11 years as a solar cycle. Scientists said that the Solar Storm would probably active and it would stop in the coming May 2012. So in December, there will not be any massive Solar Storm that will happen.

3) Planetary Alignment - Due to the calculation of the planetary orbit from scientists, 21 December 2012 will not have happen any planetary alignment.

4) Shifting of Magnetic Poles - The previous Magnetic Poles shifting had happened approximately 20, 000 years ago. If a Magnetic Poles seem to be shifted again, it will takes thousands years to be shifted. And if it happened, it will not bring any disasters to Earth. But the truth is, this event will not happened on 21 December 2012.

If you really understand the above explanation, so you won't need to worry about the rumors spread of 2012 Doomsday. It is just a cycle of a new calendar of Mayan. The prediction is just a misunderstood to everyone.
