The sun flips poles with some regularity. It happened 7 years ago and will happen in 2012, because it's on a regular 11 year cycle. It's not a world-ending event. I dunno about the whole "shielded from cosmic energy" thing though. Because the sun (and the rest of the stars in the galaxy) orbit the center of the galaxy, the sun is always aligned with the center of the galaxy. Just like the moon is always aligned with the earth, because it orbits the earth. You can always draw a straight line from the moon through the center of the earth, and you can always draw a straight line from the sun through the center of the galaxy.  In fact, you can always draw a straight line between two points, because that's what defines a line. As far as apophis, well, the likelihood is really, really small for a very very long time. Even the highest percentage change apophis would smack the earth was like 3% within the next 40 years. |

The Earth will align behind the Sun. Meaning you would be able to draw a straight line from the center of the galaxy through the sun, ending at Earth. Something that only happens once every 28 thousand years or so. And yes, Apophis is a long shot, but imagine what "Buffalo Bill" (and like minded people) have cooked up for 2029/2036. |

Oh noes! A stop light was out near my work so traffic was backed up forever. A nuke probably hit it.
