This latest "galactic elliptic" bru ha-ha reminds me of same kind of hype that got frothed up concerning the infamous Harmonic Convergence celestial event, which happened back in the late 1980s. We're still here. Just in time for another generation, a new crop of young enthusiasts to carry on the "cause" in different clothing. The world is coming to an end...really!!!! Revision 23.b. How do we know our solar system just happens to be conveniently passing through the galactic elliptic - right about now!!!! Who made this assessment? Better yet, who started it. I think that would be a much more interesting story worth tracking down. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
