  1. Question

    Following are some recent reader comments sent to Ask an Astrobiologist:

    You answered everything I need to know about 2012. I have searched the internet over and over again looking for REAL scientific data on the alleged alignment and have found nothing but fear mongers, dooms-sayers, and wacked-out, wonk-head, web sites. Then, finally I found NASA and you!
    AND
    I was unfamiliar with the whole Nibiru cult. I eventually found my way to your top 20 Nibiru Q and A site. I found the information to be helpful and in some cases, entertaining. I am sorry that so much time was required to debunk such a idiotic myth.
    AND
    Thank you for your erudite and patient explanations regarding the hoax of 2012. I wholly agree that Sony (2012 movie), the History Channel (aka hysterical channel), and all the nutcase web sites should be called to task for poisoning the minds of humans everywhere. I applaud NASA for addressing this.
    AND
    After reading these many doomsday questions, all I have to say now is this... God Bless all the NASA men and women and any other astrobiologists out there! Truly you are an EXTREMELY patient group. Keep up the good work!!
