2012 is simply when the current baktun of the Mayan calendar ends. A baktun is a 400 year period, and we are in the twelfth baktun. It is true that the Mayan calendar effectively ends on December 21, 2012, because for whatever reason the Mayans didn't extend the calendar beyond the end of the twelfth baktun. This doesn't mean that the Mayans believed the world would end at that point. I mean, during the 20th century, the civilized world created a computer timekeeping system that was incapable of recognizing dates beyond December 31, 1999. It doesn't mean we thought the world was going to end that day! Maybe the Mayans would have extended the calendar centuries ago if their civilization hadn't collapsed. And even if the Mayans did believe the world would end in 2012, that doesn't mean it actually will. Remember, every predicted date for the end of the world so far has been wrong! In any event, the termination of the Mayan "long count" calendar on December 21, 2012, is the main reason why that year has been singled out as the supposed date of the apocalypse. Everything that people say about pole reversals, galactic planes, or anything about the moon happening in 2012 stems from that.

In 2012, the moon will circle this earth like twelve or thirteen times, rotating on it's axis once each time. This will result in the moon always looking the same from earth's perspective, mystifying many and resulting in numerous questions on yahoo.

Apparently the Russians are aiming for a moon landing around that time. Other than that, nothing.

Absolutely nothing except that a few companies will dupe more idiots out of millions by selling them lots there.
