6 Days Darkness in December 2014′ 100% Fake; NASA Confirmed 3 Days Total Darkness Hoax

Rumors of upcoming “days of darkness” in December went online after some netizens took a satire news article for gospel truth which eventually brought fear among many people in the world. The “days of darkness” hoax seems to be an annual nuisance for NASA which, for several instances, has dismissed such fearmongering on a regular basis. Just recently, satire news site Huzlers.com said that NASA administrator Charles Bolden had “confirmed” that the Earth will be plunged into six days of darkness following a solar storm in December this year. Based on research, Huzlers.com is a combination of real shocking news and satirical entertainment site to keep its visitors in a state of disbelief. Without researching further, the hoax information was shared by many people to include a Youtube video of Bolden supposedly warning the public about the impending disaster. While Bolden allegedly does talk about the need for preparedness for any natural disasters and never mentions anything about worldwide blackouts nor any similar global catastrophe, the hoax spearheaded by Huzlers.com swiftly gained worldwide traction online over the weekend causing fear and panic. The hoax is not the first time to happen; as NASA has been falsely quoted several times in the past. The only instance where NASA mentioned “days of darkness” on its website is in a 2011 FAQ debunking a similar doomsday rumor concerning Comet Elenin’s passage close to Earth on 2010. In 2012, NASA was dragged by ‘doomsday fearmongers’ after it supposedly confirmed that the Earth would be plunged into darkness after passing through a “photon belt.” Finally, Snopes.com has this to say: No, the universe is not about to realign in December 2014, nor will there be a multi-day blackout at that time during which the Earth will shift into a new dimension. Neither NASA nor any other credible scientific entity has made such a pronouncement. Ever.
