A most strange report from the Institute of Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and quoting renowned Scientist Boris Shustov, is warning that our Earth is in ‘imminent danger’ from a ‘deadly’ star nearing its final destruction, and as we can read about as reported by Australia’s Herald Sun News Service, and which says:
"A STAR that twinkles in the sky just 8000 light years from Earth is on a path to self-destruction that could result in a cataclysmic explosion. The unstable star -- close to us in cosmic terms -- is part of a rotating pinwheel system known as WR104 [pictured top left], in the constellation of Sagittarius. Experts fear that when the star does explode it could force a beam of destructive gamma-ray radiation towards Earth."
A more detailed examination of this ‘death star’ states: "WR 104 is a Wolf-Rayet star located 8000 light years from Earth at RA 18h02m04s.07 Dec -23d37'41.2" (ICRS). It is a binary star with a class OB companion.
The stars have an orbital period of 220 days and the interaction between their stellar winds produce a spiral "pinwheel" outflow pattern over 200 AU long. The spiral is composed of dust that would normally be prevented from forming by WR 104's intense radiation were it not for the star's companion. The region where the stellar wind from the two massive stars interacts compresses the material enough for the dust to form, and the rotation of the system causes the spiral-shaped pattern.
WR 104's rotational axis is aligned within 16° of Earth. This could have potential implications to the effects of WR 104's eventual supernova, since these explosions often produce jets from their rotational poles. It is possible that WR 104 may even produce a gamma ray burst, though it is not possible to predict with certainty at this time."
Though the full extent of the dangers facing our planet from WR104 are currently being debated at the highest levels of the World’s astronomical community, this report details the most catastrophic scenario we could be facing, and based upon the completed computations from this past months greatest ever seen cosmic blast, and as we can read about as reported by the AFP News Service:
"NASA has detected the brightest cosmic explosion ever recorded -- a massive burst of energy 7.5 billion light years away that could be seen with the naked eye from Earth, the US space agency said Thursday.
The explosion, a gamma ray burst older than Earth itself, was monitored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Swift satellite and shattered the record for the most distant object seen without visual aid.
"No other known object or type of explosion could be seen by the naked eye at such an immense distance," said Swift team member Stephen Holland of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in the eastern state of Maryland."
Even more interesting, perhaps, there is contained in these reports an hypothesis that our Earth has, in the past, faced other such grave dangers, and indeed, the American Astronomical Society has previously heard arguments that a gamma-ray burst, and not an asteroid, was responsible for the cataclysmic destruction of the dinosaurs.
These reports, however, expound on these theories by first stating that Japanese scientists are correct in their calculations warning of the imminent ‘appearance’ of a 10th planet in our solar system named ‘Planet X’, and as we can read about as reported by the AFP News Service, and which says:
"Scientists at a Japanese university said Thursday they believed another planet up to two-thirds the size of the Earth was orbiting in the far reaches of the solar system. The researchers at Kobe University in western Japan said calculations using computer simulations led them to conclude it was only a matter of time before the mysterious "Planet X" was found.
"Because of the very cold temperature, its surface would be covered with ice, icy ammonia and methane," Kobe University professor Tadashi Mukai, the lead researcher, told AFP. The study by Mukai and researcher Patryk Lykawka will be published in the April issue of the US-based Astronomical Journal.
"The possibility is high that a yet unknown, planet-class celestial body, measuring 30 percent to 70 percent of the Earth's mass, exists in the outer edges of the solar system," said a summary of the research released by Kobe University. "If research is conducted on a wide scale, the planet is likely to be discovered in less than 10 years," it said.
Planet X -- so called by scientists as it is yet unfound -- would have an oblong elliptical solar orbit and circle the sun every thousand years, the team said, estimating its radius was 15 to 26 billion kilometres."
The significance to a cataclysmic gamma ray burst from WR104 occurring during an orbit of this Planet X within our inner solar system, these reports continue, and should this Planet X’s orbit become a sort of ‘shield’ for our Earth by ‘absorbing’ the greater shocks of this blast, the ‘underlying’ subatomic particles of the gamma-ray burst reaching our Earth, after passing through the mass of Planet X, would become ‘antimatter’ in their character based upon the theories postulated by the American Nobel Winning scientist Richard Feynman, and which state that antimatter is matter moving backwards in time.
To the effects of our Earth being ‘bathed’, in its entirety, by such an antimatter blast, these reports continue, would bring our present World to an ending of everything we have ever known and throw humanity into a time of such chaos that only our most ancient of myths and religious beliefs would have any relevance as simultaneously we could, possibly, be ‘shattered’ into a Multiverse of competing parallel universes.
For human beings, should such an event occur, the effect of these things would be an immediate ‘translation’ into whatever is held most by our minds, with those having the lowest thoughts being relegated to lower dimensions, those with the highest thoughts being pushed into higher ones.
There also exists, these calculations show, the potential for human beings to be able to ‘push’ their way towards past timelines, as well as those of the future.
But, to the most interesting calculation of these reports is its estimating that if should an event as this occur its most likely date would be in the waning months of the year 2012, and which coincides with the ancient Mayan Calendar warnings that our World will, indeed, see the ending of this age on December 21, 2012.

PLOT
In 2009, American geologist Adrian Helmsley meets his friend, Doctor Satnam Tsurutani, in India. Satnam has discovered that neutrinos from a massive solar flare are acting as microwaves, causing the temperature of the Earth's core to increase rapidly. Adrian informs White House Chief of Staff Carl Anheuser and US President Thomas Wilson that this will instigate a catastrophic chain of natural disasters. At the G8 summit in 2010, other heads of state and heads of government are made aware of the situation. They begin a secret project intended to ensure humanity survives, choosing 400,000 people to board a series of gigantic ships to be constructed in the Himalayas. To help fund the venture, additional individuals are allowed to purchase tickets for one billion euros apiece.
In 2012, Jackson Curtis is a writer in Los Angeles who works part-time as a limousine driver for wealthy Russian businessman Yuri Karpov. Jackson's ex-wife Kate and their children Noah and Lily live with her boyfriend, plastic surgeon and amateur pilot Gordon Silberman. Jackson takes Noah and Lily on a camping trip to Yellowstone National Park, where they meet Charlie Frost, a conspiracy theorist living as a hermit and hosting a radio show from the park. Charlie believes a theory that suggests the Mayans predicted the world would come to an end in 2012, and claims he has knowledge of a secret "space ship" project and possesses a map of their location. The family returns home as cracks develop along the San Andreas Fault in California and earthquakes occur in the San Francisco Bay area. After being informed by Yuri's twin sons that they have tickets for a special ship while he will die, Jackson grows suspicious and rents a plane to rescue his family. He collects his family and Gordon when the Earth's crust displacement begins and they escape Los Angeles as it collapses into the Pacific Ocean.
As millions die in earthquakes worldwide, the group flies to Yellowstone to retrieve Charlie's map. The group narrowly escapes as the Yellowstone Caldera erupts. Charlie, who stayed behind to broadcast the eruption, is killed by the blast. Learning the ships are in China, the group lands in Las Vegas, where they meet Yuri, his sons, girlfriend Tamara, and pilot Sasha. They join the group and secure an Antonov An-225, fleeing Las Vegas as it is destroyed. The group flies to China, passing Hawaii as it is obliterated by volcanic eruptions. Also bound for the ships aboard Air Force One are Anheuser, Adrian, and First Daughter Laura Wilson. President Wilson chooses to remain in Washington D.C. and address the nation one last time and inform the people of the world of the impending disasters and is killed by a giant tsunami that sends the USS John F. Kennedy crashing into the White House. With the Vice President dead and the Speaker of the House missing, Anheuser appoints himself acting president.
Arriving in China in a crash-landing that kills Sasha, Yuri and his sons are taken to the ships, stranding the Curtis family, Gordon, and Tamara, who do not possess tickets. After leaving the crash site, the group is picked up by Nima, a Buddhist monk. They sneak into an ark through its hydraulics chamber with the help of Nima's brother Tenzin, a welder for the ark project. Meanwhile, Satnam and his family are stranded in India after their airlift fails to arrive. In his last moments, Satnam calls Adrian, informing him that an uncharted tsunami is engulfing India and heading towards the arks. Anheuser orders the arks sealed, trapping thousands outside. Adrian convinces the G8 leaders to let the remaining people board. As the ark's boarding gate is lowered and then raised, Yuri falls to his death getting his two sons aboard. Gordon falls between the gears and dies. A large drill then falls and becomes lodged between the gears, preventing the gate from closing and rendering the ship unable to start its engines. The tsunami begins flooding the ark. When the tsunami hits the airport, Air Force One is washed into the ark, setting it adrift. Tamara dies in a flooding room while crying for help. Jackson and Noah free the drill from the closing mechanism. The crew regains control of the ark, preventing a fatal collision with Mount Everest.
The date is now January 27, 0001. When the floodwater from the tsunamis recedes, satellite data shows that Africa rose in relation to sea level, and the Drakensberg mountains in KwaZulu Natal are now the highest on the planet. As three arks set sail for the Cape of Good Hope, Jackson reconciles with his family and Adrian starts a relationship with Laura. The movie ends with a view of the Earth with a geographically different Africa.
