I am happy to say that I managed to get two wonderful photographs of the Galactic Center a couple of mornings ago, here in the Florida Keys. The weather for this year’s Winter Star Party has not been easy. Many nights, the skies are clouded over. However, on two nights, which also happened to be bitterly cold and windy, we had clear skies right to the horizon! Usually, the night sky over the horizon is hazy because of the surrounding water.
Fantastic! Especially since the Galactic Center rises out of the ocean on the southeast horizon at about 5:00 a.m. Unfortunatley, a sliver of the old moon was rising just behind the Galactic Center. Nevertheless, with my trusty Nikon set to take 30 second exposures, I did get both a horizontal and vertical image that, with Nikon’s Capture NX2 software, I was able to resolve a great photograph of the star constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpio surrouding the Galactic Center. Many people believe that the line up of the earth and sun with the Galactic Center herald a new world on December 21, 2012.
Today, I met with a woman who is becoming a friend. We have talked about 2012.
I have told her about my interviews with Mayan shamans, experts on the Maya and their Long Count Calendar, and Mayan people in the Yucatan.
She knows that my research among the Maya in the Yucatan is that the world is NOT going to end on December 21, 2012.
Instead, the Long Count Calendar will be starting on Day One December 22 IF present-day archeologists have correctly translated ancient Mayan glyphs and IF present-day archeologists have correctly correlated the Mayan Long Count calendar with our Gregorian calendar.
My friend told me that she had met a woman yesterday who proclaimed to her that on December 21, 2012, the world was going to end. Fortunately, my friend was able to assure this distraught woman that the world was not going to end on that date.
