Countdown until the Mayan End-of-the-world in 2012 and see live how the Earth and sun are doing. Tick off the days, seconds, dog walks, meals, and other events until (maybe) the end of days.

The main panel shows various alternating events and counts them down: how many children will be born, how many full moons we can expect.

The alternate panels show recent earthquakes and the state of our local environment. This includes an up-to-date (often thrilling) the sun's surface, updated directly from authoritative data sources. A list of recent earthquakes is also provided, along with a map to locate them on the plant's surface.

The countdown reminds you to seize the day, and the solar and earthquake events keep you in touch with our fragile planet and how close it is to the brink.
