It is amazing that instead of
oral stories we find ourselves engaging in rather ‘oral threats’ about things
that keep us busy wandering. Sure we do not lack words and imaginations. If I said
what I dreamt yester night about the sky and stars some of us will be
devastated. That does not make it true- though it was truly happening in the
dream and I swear by the grave of my grandfather that it is true.

About the 15 dark days, not the
first ‘apocalypse’ expected since human minds became apocalyptic conscious is
one of the may-come-true stories. There is a you tube clip that starts the show
with such a mournful Arabic sound like the one I heard during flash floods in
coastal Arabic. It is to the extent of a dirge! There is an indication of desperateness
in the composer if not to make his likings and sites receive a billion views.

For Earth to be affected by Venus
and Jupiter is something I find badly stage-managed. Jupiter is around 438.8
million miles from the sun, Venus 67.27 and Earth 92.96 in equal measurements.
Around the sun, Jupiter covers a distance of 11.86 Earth years. NASA writes
that once in every 398.9 days Earth and Jupiter catches up. Unlike the expected
repercussions from it, the planets were explained by Johannes Keppler to move
in elliptical paths round the sun. Between Venus and Earth are 6.5 astronomical
units. (By the way, one astronomical unit = the mean sun/Earth distance
(approximately 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles). They like swing
around as they move. That is why the expected gaseous heating from Hydrogenised
Jupiter is a false happening. It is also why planets don’t have exact distance measures from the Sun. At points in
time, away from polluted city skies, planets can be observed in the sky!
From the other planets, microbes
see a shiny star (Earth)- due to our clouds and snowy Antarctic’s.
Reading from Earthsky.com, On
July 18 2015, the moon, Venus and Jupiter were seen in the sky with a
difference degree of four from the Earth. Nothing disastrous was anticipated!
With no predictions of the planets coming on check again soon why expect it in
November 2015? It is true that Venus and Jupiter oftenly come into check
because Venus has a smaller radius round the sun making the 1M long happening a
lie. In a one Earth year there are several checks! This can’t be the first they
coming too close.
Remembering that the sun is not
the only source of light in the universe but the nearest star, we can only take
a night to adapt to the ‘new’ light.
To get psyched up in threats and
rumours is what the faulty media does best. So what if the world ends? The advantage is to use that moment
to be knowledged about information materials that spring up- it is motivating
to read what is trending. There are no better stories as ones involve the space (what used to be the heaven). And as usual, if you believe anything you read, you
better not read at all.
