I'm not qualified to judge the reliability of those claims - it's possible, and it would be really neat if they had seen something from the vicinity of the Galactic center. However, lots of "heavenly alignments" have been hotly disputed over the years, so I want to be super-cautious about that topic! http://hoth.ccssc.org/blogs/blog5.php/2009/01/26/no-fear-of-2012-part-1#c11 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 08:09:19 +0000 qraal [Member] c10@http://hoth.ccssc.org/blogs/ Finally some sensible discussion of the whole silly show.<br /> <br /> I do appreciate your pointing out the Galactic lineup on the solstices. That neatly explains a galactic alignment in a proposed early stage of Stonehenge from c.10,500 BC that Duncan Lunan found puzzling a few years ago. Makes me wonder if it ever had significance for our ancestors - perhaps there was a visible outburst from the Core all those years ago. Or it's just a meaningful juxtaposition in the perfervid imaginings of wannabe archeoastronomers.
