You don't have to worry. The meteor that is sure to hit us will be in 2880.

How would we know? I am not gonna stay alove for a million years, neither will you. I don't mean to be arrogant, but honestly why should we care. I say live by the moment. Focus on what you are doing NOW. But if you really want an answer, I think now. You know what, it won't be the sun or a black hole that destroys us, it will be the human race, and maybe natural disasters. Look at the wars, we are killing eachother! In the past year earthquakes and tsunamis have outbroken wiping out even more of our civilizatiopn. We are only destroying ourselves.

December 21, 2012.  But it doesn't say the world will end... it's just marked as an important date, possibly the end of "a creation", but it's not at all clear what they thought would happen.  And the math is arguably way off.  Check the article I've cited from Wikipedia, it's impressive and thorough.

No.\n\nOn average one enters the earth atmosphere every minute.\nYou need to be stood in the right place at the right time looking in the right direction.\n\nYou still get two wishes though.\n\nLook up the next meteor shower on the net you'll love it

the world is not going to end next year. the world is going to end in 2012 when the meteor hits. DUH!!!

Everybody says that now days, it could be because todays date is 6-6-06 but that has happened what, 20 times sence Jesus walked the earth.  I think that this is unlikely and judging by how there hasnt been a terrible storm yet, it probably wont happen.  And there is no way to know when the world will end, just when it does, you'll know.  Nobody knows the date of it.

i just received email about it, so i'll just copy and paste it... \n\nEarth is about to pass through the dusty tail of Comet Thatcher, and this will cause the annual Lyrid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on April 22nd, producing about 10 meteors per hour--modest, but pretty.  The best time to look is during the hours before sunrise on Saturday morning.  Go to a dark site away from city lights, if possible.\n\nThe Moon will also encounter the comet's tail on April 22nd, which raises an interesting possibility: Amateur astronomers may be able to spot flashes of light on the Moon when comet debris hits the lunar surface and explodes. All that's required is a backyard telescope and lots of patience.\n\nNote: This is a Northern Hemisphere shower.  South of the equator, observers will see very few Lyrids.  Southerners are, however, in an excellent position to observe Lyrid impacts on the Moon.  The Moon rises high in southern skies on April 22nd, in plain view of backyard telescopes.\n\nyou can visit the link below for observing tips and sky maps

There will be no tsunamis, firestorms or mass extinctions to spoil your Memorial Day weekend. \n\nAlthough the Internet is rife with speculation that a fragment of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 will strike the Earth on May 25, neither the main comet nor any of its more than 40 fragments pose a danger to Earth. \n\n"We are very well acquainted with the trajectory of Comet 73P Schwassmann-Wachmann 3," said Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office. "There is absolutely no danger to people on the ground or the inhabitants of the International Space Station, as the main body of the object and any pieces from the breakup will pass many millions of miles beyond the Earth."\n\nImage above: Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys took images of the disintegration of Comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3's fragment B.

Levay (STScI)\nMovie: Zoom to Fragment B close-up: + 544 Kb QuickTime | + Windows Media \n\nHowever, you can see the comet falling apart right before our eyes, thanks to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. \n\nRecent Hubble images have uncovered many more fragments than have been reported by ground-based observers. These observations provide an unprecedented opportunity to study the demise of a comet nucleus. \n\nNone of the comet's fragments will come closer than 5.5 million miles to Earth during its closest approaches May 12 - 28. That's more than 20 times the distance from the Earth to the moon.\n\nThe main fragment, designated fragment C, will pass closest to Earth on May 12 at a distance of approximately 7.3 million miles. It will be visible to small telescopes during the morning hours in the constellation Vulpecula. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope will observe the comet in May. \n\nAstronomers have been observing the comet for more than 75 years. The trajectory of this comet has been monitored and refined over time, and its path around the sun is well understood. Amateur and professional astronomers around the world have been tracking its spectacular disintegration for years. \n\nThe comet is currently comprised of a chain of fragments, named alphabetically, stretching across several degrees on the sky. (The sun and moon each have an apparent diameter of about 1/2 of a degree.) Ground-based observers have noted dramatic brightening events associated with some of the fragments (as seen in the image below) indicating that they are continuing to break-up and that some may disappear altogether.\n\n Image above: Ground based view of fragments B and G, R, and N on April 8, 2006. Credit: M. Jäger and G. Rhemann \n\nHubble caught two of the fragments, B and G, shortly after large outbursts in activity. Hubble also photographed fragment C , which at the time was less active. The resulting images reveal that a hierarchical destruction process is taking place, in which fragments are continuing to break into smaller chunks. Several dozen "mini-fragments" are found trailing behind each main fragment, probably associated with the ejection of house-sized chunks of surface material that can only be detected in these very sensitive and high- resolution Hubble images.\n\nSequential Hubble images of the B fragment, taken a few days apart, suggest that the chunks are pushed down the tail by outgassing from the icy, sunward-facing surfaces of the chunks, much like space-walking astronauts are propelled by their jetpacks. The smaller chunks have the lowest mass, and so are accelerated away from the parent nucleus faster than the larger chunks. Some of the chunks seem to dissipate completely over the course of several days.\n\nDeep-freeze relics of the early solar system, cometary nuclei are porous and fragile mixes of dust and ices. They can be broken apart by gravitational tidal forces when they pass near large bodies. For example, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 was torn to pieces when it skirted ne

My dear child,this planet has been here for a very long time,it is true that billions of years ago the known universe was a shooting gallery but for life to have survived on this planet it had to and did calm down,the truth of the matter in any thing science Say's or the surgeon general of the day is an op pinion of eather one man or a few,that happen to have your ear at the time,all things have settled into a daily(or millennium) routine but that doesn't sell papers,man is no god and man even if he thinks so can not even in math predict the future events.there are universal safe guards in place,live,love and forget that which can not be substantiated.enjoy life be a good personthis is all I ask.

As soon as I saw the question I thought rain, but I don't think it will ruin your special day.  Maybe it will rain earlier in the day clear up later, but I think there will be some rain.  Don't panic though, it won't be a total wash out.  And, us "gifted" people have been known to be wrong on several occasions.  Good luck and take care and have a Blessed and happy Birthday!!

We are currently observing 7 objects with a small possibility of hitting us in the near future, and keeping tabs on 14 others that we can't see right now (the sun is in the way).  We also know of 26 objects which we have "lost," but feel that it would be a good idea to find again, just in case.  We also know of another 33 objects that could potentially hit us, but are rather small and would only cause minimal surface damage.\n\nAll in all there are a quite a number of potential impactors right now, we're watching them closly to see if any really will hit us or not.  Obviously this does not count really small things that hit us all the time, just things that are large enough to see in moderate sized telescopes.\n\nJust noticed the source link below mine -- nice to see that Yeomans and Baalke got the JPL site working and up to date again!

are they sure that it will hit earth in that year? Maybe it will hit earth much later, or maybe they'll find a way to stop it. I don't know, the size, but asteroids sure are large, but maybe it'll be just a small collision that the earth will not split up and humankind will not be...destroyed.

Yes, I do because Earth is not a closed system. If it were, meteorites would never hit.  I have an interesting comparison (to me at least)  about comets "seeding" the earth....... have you ever noticed that earth resembles an "egg" and comets resemble sperm?  they have heads & tails like sperm...... and the term panspermia......... just a thought.......

it wont be here.....2036 theres an asteroid set to collide with earth the size of Texas...heard it on APNews

THE WORLD WILL END ON DECEMBER 23RD OF 2012. I KNOW THIS FOR SURE AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS, ALL YOU RELIGOUS TYPES ARRE GOING TO BE REALLY DISSAPPOINTED. THERE IS NOTHING BEYOND DEATH, EVERYTHING IS NATURAL, NO SPIRITUAL WHATSOEVER

People have been predicting the world would end over and over but we are still here. Now the truth is with all science and theology no one can say when the world is going to end. It could end today it could end tomorrow it could end a thousand years from now. The Mayan Calender just runs out. that doesn't mean the world is going to end. God bless kisses Betty.
