Preparing for 2012
The semester is winding down and the winter solstice will soon be upon us. It’s now time to prepare for what many have predicted as our last year on earth!
Don’t worry; David Morrison sets the record straight back in 2009 with his rebuttal of this doomsday prediction. Morrison answers questions submitted to NASA’s website, Astrobiology: Life in the Universe. You can read what he has to say in his article, “2012 and Counting: A NASA Scientist Answers the Top 20 Questions About 2012”
