Mayan apocalypse nears: ‘The world will not end,’ NASA proclaims

As the Mayan apocalypse nears, some people are being thrown into a panic due to fears that the world will end on Dec. 21, 2012. Now, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has released a video that it hopes will allay those fears. Although the video was originally slated for release on the morning of Dec. 22, 2012, the day after the Mayan apocalypse, NASA has been kind enough to release the video early rather than after the fact.

According to a Dec. 15, 2012 report by The Christian Post, NASA has also dedicated «an entire webpage answering common questions about the Mayan prophecy.» NASA’s team of scientists has collaborated on providing information on the following important topics particularly as the Mayan apocalypse nears. Topics include the following: End of the World, ‘Prediction’ Origins, Mayan Calendar, Total Blackout, Planetary Alignment, Nibiru/Planet X/Eris, Polar Shift, Meteor Strike, NASA Science and Solar Storms. Here is an example of just one of the site’s popular questions and its common-sense answer.
“
Are there any threats to the Earth in 2012? Many Internet websites say the world will end in December 2012.

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.

Another question asks whether the Mayan calendar really ends on Dec. 21, 2012. NASA’s response states that the Mayan calendar continues after that date. NASA compares it to the calendar on your kitchen wall. The world doesn’t end just because the calendar runs out of pages.
