Watch the end of the world live online via space camera

Artist's conception of the rogue planet Nibiru, or Planet X.
In case you're worried about the coming Mayan "New B'ak'tun" on Friday (or would it be "turn of the b'ak'tun"?), and that it may signal the arrival of some world-ending catastrophe from space, the team that runs the Slooh Space Camera has you covered.

Slooh (pronounced slew-oh) is a site that allows members to control various telescopes at participating observatories around the world, to capture images of planets, stars and other astronomical phenomena. Although membership requires a subscription fee, the Slooh staff regularly host public events which are broadcast live and for free over the web (go to http://www.slooh.com and click on Media for a list).
