May 28, 2015 - Doomsday scenarios plaguing your social media feed? Here's a quick guide to whether or not you really need to worry about them.

Doomsday scenarios keeping you up at night? Here's a quick guide to whether or not you really need to worry about them.

Every time we turn around, there seems to be yet another doomsday scenario that's supposed to play out - be it a planetary alignment, asteroid impact or even a planet wandering through our solar system.

The people reporting these scenarios seem to be pretty sincere about the threat, so how do we know if we need to worry?

A very quick guide for this is simply the fact that there have been countless prophecies of doom from the skies over the years, and yet we're still here.

Take, for example, the two most prolific doomsday messages currently on the internet:

May 28 "Planetary Alignment"

A video on YouTube, entitled Global Coastal Event on May 28, 2015,is reporting that an apparent planetary alignment between the Sun, Mercury and Saturn (along with two other alignments that are supposed to augment its effects) will align directly between the Earth and the Moon on Thursday, May 28.

Quoting Nostradamus, who wrote in one of his quatrains of a "mighty trembling" in May and mentioned Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus and Mars in specific constellations, the video suggests that this alignment is supposed upset the balance between the Earth and Moon, and heralds a magnitude 9.8 earthquake on the west coast of the United States.

Here's the view that is presented in the video, using the online simulator Solar System Scope, with an arrow in the same position as in the video, denoting this supposed alignment.

Did you mean for this to go in a different thread? If so, just let me know which one and I can move it.
