June 8, 2012 -- According to the overactive imaginations of a few doomsayers profiting from people's fear, 2012 will bring all kinds of death and destruction in the form of rampaging planets, killer solar flares and unforeseen asteroid impacts. But the one thing these theories of doom have in common: they're all fabricated. No one has accurately predicted the future. Not even the ancient Mayans prophesized the end of the world on Dec. 21, 2012. Really. For now forget made-up tales of Armageddon, it's the last few months have actually been filled with planetary murder, comet impacts, black hole carnage and stellar death... in other star systems.
