Doomsday will not: NASA’s tired to explain why the Earth is not plunged into darkness – BBC News

In October, many foreign, and later Russian media reported that from November 15, the Earth was plunged into darkness for a fortnight. According to some Internet portals, information on such an unusual phenomenon confirmed in NASA, and the head of the space agency, Charles Bolden even gave President Barack Obama a report on this subject on thousands of pages.

It allegedly was given an explanation of the unusual. It consisted in the fact that the phenomenon of “paralellizma” make Venus’ move along the south-west of Jupiter “, with the result that it would shine 10 times brighter than the gas giant. It will warm glow of Jupiter’s gas, causing the reaction, which resulted in huge masses will release hydrogen. Because of this, the Sun happens a super explosion, followed by a rise in temperature. As a result, light “dim” and take a bluish tint.

The darkness came from the Internet

As it turned out, the article about the occurrence of darkness appeared in the middle of July Online Newswatch33. Portal specializes in feykovye news – for example, there is a material that singer Beyonce and rapper Jay Z acquired the right to the flag of the Confederacy. And then there is the recognition of an employee of US intelligence that Michael Jackson was killed by order of the government.

Of course, any statement confirming the message of the two weeks of darkness, at NASA did. By the way, in 2012, in the media, too, there were warnings of blackouts, and then experts have debunked these myths.

at NASA published an interview with Dr. John Carlson, who even then answered the question whether it is possible to dive our planet into darkness. “Absolutely not. Neither NASA, nor any other scientific organizations did not predict anything like this” – he said. According to him, Charles Bolden, of course, urged citizens to be prepared for a variety of emergency situations (floods, earthquakes or terrorist attacks), but the blackout Head Space Agency is not mentioned even once.

The rumors of “doomsday” in once again appeared in the autumn of 2014 – though the cause of comprehensive gloom then called a solar storm. These reports have commented on the page of NASA’s Earth Observatory in the “Facebook”. Administrators page explained that get a lot of emails with questions about whether Earthlings are waiting for three, six or all 15 days of darkness. “All these rumors are absolutely untrue. We usually do not pay attention to the rumors, but we had so many letters that we decided to mention it. So, everyone who cares can enjoy the remaining sixty three days in 2014. All of them will be divided into day and night periods, “- said in a commentary.

Really

A few days previously reported appearance in the Sun a huge coronary hole that area is the sixth part of the world. Coronal holes – a region of the solar corona with a lower plasma density and temperature. And they, in contrast to the rumors about the blackout, not fiction. November 3-4, this hole will be located on the visible side of the sun, and it will be followed by the release of a large flow of the solar wind in the direction of our planet and, accordingly, a magnetic storm. However, in these phenomena is not uncommon.

Image coronal hole was published in the “Twitter” NasaSunEarth.

With regard to the position of Venus, Mars and Jupiter, is from 24 to 29 October, they really will be on the visual short distance from each other. And 6 and 7 November, amateur astronomers will have the chance to admire the combination of three planets, the Moon, according Gismeteo.
