Do books and videos on 2012 seem to be a mass of jargon and incomprehensible astronomical diagrams? This video may help. It’s the THIRD video in a set of two presentations, which are entitled “Clearing up the Skies of 2012: An explanation of the astronomy of 2012″, and Update — John Major Jenkins’ “The 2012 Story” and his web site “alignment2012.com” The complete list of videos is given below, along with brief descriptions: Video 1A Introduction: Alignment chronologies according to John Major Jenkins; Why the confusion; How we’ll clear it up. ** The alignments deal with apparent movements of the Sun, which result from real movements of the Earth. Therefore, that will be our first topic. Video 1B Motions of the Earth (1): Rotational and Orbital Video 1C Motions of the Earth (2): Combined Effects of Orbital and Rotational Motions; Precessional Motion ** Next, we need to know where our solar System is located with respect to the center of our Galaxy. Video 1D Our Solar System’s Place in Our Galaxy ** To help us compare the Sun’s position on different dates, we now develop a standard map for the part of the sky that lies in the direction of the center of our Galaxy. Video 1E A Standard Map for the Center of the Galaxy ** With the help of our standard map, we now examine the combined effects of orbital motion and precession. Video 1F Motions of the Earth, Revisited: Combined Effects of Orbital Motion and Precession ** Before we use our Standard Map to explain Jenkins …
