This topic is getting beaten to death, but it had it coming. It's just the end of a calendar. The Mylans had a sophisticated calendar for that time period- . It's related to the wobble of the Earth's pole and where the location of sun appears to be with respect to the background stars. . Eventually the sun passes the center of the Milky Way.

I'm not stocking up on canned food and water-the odds that these people got it right cant be too high..I wouldn't quit the day job
