Yeah that is similar to my thoughts as well:
My Original theory:
I'm guessing that what was shown there is what will happen if Master Chief fails, Cortana says she knows his future and that "This is how the world ends." which could be that this is how the world will end if the Master Chief fails.
My Revised Theory:
The Third letter from Cortana alludes to the sanctuary (i.e. the ark) and refers to it as an unbroken circle, now we could take this in a literal sense as the fact that if the structure on the trailer is indeed the ark, it is indeed circular. However I believe it refers to the fact that this sequence of events has happened before, and will happen again. Refering to these sequence of events as the unbroken circle implies that it can be broken and that perhaps the galaxy may be saved.
So really when Cortana says this is how the world ends it's because this is how the world will end if the circle is left unbroken, Master Chief, or someone else, must break this sequence of events that leads to the end of the world.
