REAL Excitement in 2012: With John Philip Sousa!
Yes, there WILL be a momentous astronomical event in the year 2012!
But it won't be the end of the world, since we had another one like it in 2004. And in 1882, for that matter. I just happened to run across this in a web search about the composer John Philip Sousa - who composed not just a march entitled "Transit of Venus", but who actually wrote a novel of the same name - although the novel was just some bagatelle about New York society, the march was about the astronomical occurrence, in honor of the unveiling of a statue to the scientist Joseph Henry who had passed away some time before.
