Eclipse during Winter Solstice 456 years

The article says there is a lunar eclipse on Dec. 21, 2010. Thats the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, the same day the Earth's tilt starts going back the other way. A 'blood red moon' eclipse on Winter Solstice is rare, the last one occured 456 years ago.

In two years, during the Winter Solstice of 2012, there is a larger syzygy between the galactic center, the sun and the earth.

This Galactic Alignment occurs only once every 26,000 years, and was what the ancient Maya were pointing to with the 2012 end-date of their Long Count calendar.

The world will not end, but human beings respond to eclipses and alignments with a superstitious importance, we always have because our imaginations go out to the stars in unison. That's all it is.

If you tell other people that the end is nigh, you should eat your own tail and disappear into a dot.
