I don't really want to speculate since I am just an oaf with the ability to blog questions I don't know the answers to.... But I have taken a University Level Astronomy course, did pretty well, and know a few basics. On my own, I like to research documentaries and look into the latest discoveries from Space that come out in the news. What I want to present here, is some stuff I have come across that makes me ponder. I'd like to invite you to share your thoughts, understandings you might bring with you from various backgrounds and to contribute to a conversation I would like to start here, now.... why not?
Science and Astronomy would be grand, but of course the Population of Steemitville is still only a little over a 1/4 million so, statistically, I doubt there are too too many. But hey, you never know.
I saw this in the morn:
Do You Sense The Event Is Coming? 2017 Galactic Cross & Mayan Calendar - Signs of End Times?
I know, not much to chew on, but here is the pretty relevant video from the fellow he mentions in the Video
When the Sun rises in the WEST...
And IF you want to see the DETAILS on which he draws his conclusions:
The Year after THIS is "The Day After Tomorrow"
So I dunno about you, but he seems to make a pretty clear, coherent case for the idea that lots of stuff is going on up there and that it might explain a lot of the strange things going on down here.
I know about the Sun's pole shift, I know about the bigger cycles beyond just the years of our planet in the solar system, but of our solar system through the galaxy and the GREAT YEAR described by many ancient cultures around the world.
I also know that Dec 21st 2012 was a significant day in the calendar since our scientists got to have a lil' peek at the center of Our Galaxy. But it wasn't anymore significant than Monday going to Tuesday... THIS thing seems different and I don't know what to do with it and thought maybe someone might take the time to check out the SECOND video if the first one got you curious.
Any Astrophysicists in the Haus?
Lemme know your thoughts and remember, Steemit shouldn't just be about posting PURE ORIGINAL content. Most of what is presented here is not mine, but the happening here, is. I would like to facilitate an event of learning and introduce ideas into your noggin' through my blinkybox to yours so you can chime in too. Otherwise, we are just watching Youtube videos across the world, which is FINE, but this platform allows for more than that no? So why not take the time, maybe not now, or next week....( you can ReSteem it so you can find it for later and get others in on the conversation) but at some point, maybe we can explore these topics together as a community.
If these guys are wrong, and this is all Bolllocks.... so be it. We were forced to learn about how the universe might work outside of work or school.... if there is something here... then maybe you should store your crypto and have a look at your house and situation. See how you feel.
Ironically, many people I know on here are here Specifically for Homesteading / Prepping. So, for them, this might just be extra validation for your efforts.... or perhaps a call to double down or start digging. I dunno, I just find this stuff fascinating and enjoy hearing the opinions of others on these topics.
I left some links that might help those who are lost on all this stuff and might want a more basic starting point, then afterwards, it might make more sense. Or, if you watch the other way around, maybe just confirm some of the logic behind the observations presented.
USEFUL AND RELATED BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR CONSIDERATION:

You may have heard of the "Electric Universe" if not, check this out:

Worlds in Collision- Immanuel Velikovsky (there are much better synopses of his work since then, just thought the original would be a good to start)
The main meat of this post, is meant to be the Second Video. The rest, is just to give context.
Here is another post on Pole Shift by 
See if you get a better idea there, or if the information here is more to your liking.. As always, do your own research!
