    Since you are asking in the Astronomy & Space category, here is a list of astronomical events which are predicted to happen in 2012:

    Mars opposition: March 3

    Mercury eastern elongation: March 5

    Venus eastern elongation: March 25

    Saturn opposition: April 15

    Mercury western elongation: April 18

    Annular eclipse of the Sun: May 20

    Partial lunar eclipse: June 4

    Venus transit: June 6

    Mercury eastern elongation: June 30

    Venus western elongation: August 14

    Mercury western elongation: August 16

    Neptune opposition: August 24

    Uranus opposition: September 29

    Mercury eastern elongation: October 26

    Total eclipse of the Sun: Nov 13

    Jupiter opposition: December 2

    Mercury western elongation: December 12

    No apocalypse? No Armageddon? That's because astronomers aren't predicting anything like that. Who are you going to believe: scientists or people trying to sell you books, TV shows, and movies?

    The Mayan calendar says the world will end on 12-21-12 unless the 13 skulls that are hidden around the planet are recovered and brought together in some temple (google it) but that's not possible since 1 is already broken. (they're really fragile) I think it's all bull since all the floods, volcanoes, earthquakes that were said already happen. 2012 sounded like the end of the world because the media said it would all happen on the 21st... Not troughout the year.

    London olympics ;)

    Doubtless some horrible things will happen, but their link to an ancient supposed Mayan 'prophecy' is non-existent.
