2012: More than Just a Doomsday Movie













If you are looking for a review of a John Cusack movie, you are looking in the wrong place. But the film does serve as a springboard for investigating the buzz stirred up on almost 600,000 websites about the prophecy of a potential impending apocalypse.

Pop culture and apparently Hollywood, gladly fueling the wildfire and reaping the benefits, have only recently caught on....

Asteriod 433 Eros is the first discovered Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) and one of the few NEAs with a maximum diameter greater than 10 km. Full story:
