Baba Vanga, who died in 1996, aged 85, is renowned among conspiracy theorists who believe the Bulgarian foretold natural disasters and other major events.
Supernaturalist say that before her death Baba predicted the future all the way up to the 51st century - when she
said the world will end.
The mystic, who was dubbed the 'Nostradamus from the Balkens,' reportedly foresaw that in 2018 China will
overtake the US to become the world's next super power.
She also claimed that 'a new form of energy' will be discovered on Venus.
Believers claim there may be some truth in her upcoming predictions.
In 1970 China produced just 4.1 per cent of the world's total economy.
This saw a meteoric rise to 15.6 per cent in 2015 and its contribution continues to increase.
And the US's contribution of 16.7 per cent is expected to dwindle to 14.9 in 2025, according to Forbes.
There are currently no plans to send a mission to Venus - meaning discovering a new source of energy next year is
probably out of the question.
The Parker Solar Probe is scheduled to launch next year but won't land on Venus, although it will use its
gravitational pull to pass around the Sun and study the star.
We wait to see...
