Galactic Alignments 2012 - Article

There is another galactic alignment that correlates to December 21st, 2012. This alignment is where the Earth, the Sun, and the supper massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy line up with each other. This means that if you were to look at the Sun on December 21st, directly behind it (and 8 parsecs away) would be the super massive black at the Milky Way's center.

There is no possible way even a super massive black hole with a mass of 4 million solar masses located 8 parsecs away from us will have any gravitational influence on us. It is simply just too far away. We sit well outside of this black hole's sphere of influence. We do rotate around this black hole, but a galaxies rotation is theorized to be due to the pull from dark matter, not solely from the super massive black hole located at the galactic center. Supermassive black holes are theorized to only play an important role in the formation of larger galaxies.

The supermassice black hole located at the center of our galaxy could still cause a doomsday scenario through cosmic gamma ray burst. When a black hole consumes matter, it shoots out a stream radiation parallel to its rotational axis. These bursts are known to travel as far as neighboring galaxies! Getting in the path one would mean and end to life as we know it. But the details of such an event are highly unknown.

If the ancient Mayans figured out this alignment happens periodically, and based their calendar around it, the real question should be: how did they know there was a super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy?
