Dr. Strong, love the video as always. You've been gracious enough to answer questions for me in the past, so I have another for you, I hope that is ok. Today I was watching something on History, it pretty much stated that at some point, Venus has looped around Orion a number of times.. the egyptians recorded something about it (??) and that 'experts' suggest it was going to happen again in 2012. Have you ever heard any version of this?

[drkstrong]

@wormroX74 No problem I am always happy to answer questions. That seems extemely far fetched. Orion is not in the ecliptic plane so planets wont appear there. It sounds like an april fool's spoof. Love to know who these experts are - I bet if you trace them down they arent experts at all.

[drkstrong]

@waterchildtera Spooky in a psychedelic sort of way

@TheLDH2020Channel It is a bad pixel - it is there whenever there is bright emission on the NE limb
