NASA is so sure there will be a Dec. 22, 2012, it has already posted a YouTube video titled "Why
the World Didn't End Yesterday."

prompted by a misunderstanding of the ancient Maya calendar, which runs through Dec. 21, 2012.
"It's just the end of the cycle and the beginning of the new one. It's just like on Dec. 31, our calendar
comes to an end, but a new calendar for the next year begins on Jan. 1," Don Yeomans, head of
NASA, said in a separate YouTube video.
According to the story circulating on the Internet, an enormous rogue planet called Niburu is on a
collision course with Earth.
