The Aztecs and Mayans believed it would be overhead at midnight on the night the world comes to an end
I may be wrong here, but doesnt the Pleiades star cluster, aka Messier 45, The Seven Sisters, The Children of Atlas, or the Daughters of Pleone appear directly overhead at midnight every 52 years?
The Aztecs may have been fearful of it, but I don't think it's something we really need to worry about.
