SOME LINKS TO SITES
RELATED TO THE 21st CENTURY
A few sites I found related to the 21st Century, links related to predictions
and Y2K issues. This page was originally developed for Gala 2000
held January 22, 2000 by the MIT Club of Boston. The page is still
maintained to see how many of the sites linked below survive the 100 years the Gala 2000 time capsule is sealed and also to see how many
outside predictions are fulfilled during that same time.

Upcoming Astronomical and Calendrical Events and Predictions
- A Total
Lunar Eclipse occurred on January 20-21, 2000 - just 2 days before MIT
Club of Boston's Gala 2000. Because of sunlight refracting through Earth's
atmosphere during the lunar eclipse, and because of variations in the overall
transparency of the Earth's atmosphere, the totally eclipsed Moon's color
could range from a gray to a deep red to even orange. Please note that
gray and red are the school colors of MIT. It would be interesting to see
if previous MIT Club of Boston Galas were timed near major astronomical events
given that three of MIT's past presidents worked in astronomy-related fields.
- There could be a
naked-eye comet in the summer of 2000. We will learn during the summer
of 2000 whether this is a failed prediction or not, recalling the hype about
Comet Kahoutek back in 1973-74. According to this
web site, Comet LINEAR could be brighter than previously expected. The
comet broke apart during the summer of 2000. NEW: I just learned that LINEAR
found another comet that could be naked eye by Christmas 2001 if it doesn't
go non-LINEAR again!!:-) The comet was discovered by a
robotic telescope operated by MIT
Lincoln Laboratory.
- The year 2000 is a leap year unlike 1000, 1900, 2100 or 3000. Go
here to learn more. There are additional outside links to calendar history,
time scales in theoretical physics and on time travel on the page.
- There will be a grand conjunction of the five bright planets (Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) on May 5, 2000. The conjunction itself
will be a fulfilled prediction thanks to celestial mechanics, but this
site refutes the wild apocalyptic predictions sometimes associated with
this event.
- NEW!!
The closest approach of Mars in hundreds if not thousands of years will occur
on the ProphecyMaster's birthday, August 27, 2003.
- There is a transit of Venus coming in the year 2004. Click
here for more.
- A listing of major astronomical events from 2000 to past 2010 is
given here.
- My page on 2009 and its importance to astronomy and space
- There will be a "Blood Red Moon Tetrad" during 2014-2015. The tetrad is four total lunar eclipses that happen to fall on major Jewish holidays. This is also the first Tetrad after the recycling of the ancient Mayan Calendar which was 480 days prior to the first eclipse which occurs on April 15, 2014. That day falls on Passover. That day is also just two days after Palm Sunday; on Income Tax Deadline Day in the USA and also almost exactly one year after the Boston Marathon terrorist attack.

Predictions - in the graphic above are views of some MIT
related stuff seen through crystal balls. Note how difficult it is to
discern what those objects are. That symbolizes how murky and difficult
it is to see into the future.
