Doomsday

The 2012 Doomsday phenomenon was a widespread belief that the world was going to end, the method of destruction was debated thoroughly among theorists with no distinct end just simply that it would. Multiple articles flooded the internet, including from NASA. In 2009, NASA re-printed an article, The Great 2012 Doomsday Scare, which was authored by the Director of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, E.C. Krupp. The article frames the year 2012 as “acting like a badly behaved celebrity. Frightful rumors and gossip are spreading. Already more than a half dozen books are marketing”[1]
