NASA ‘1 Day of Total Darkness’ Hoax
The claim that NASA predicted several days of total darkness on Earth is a recurring, long-debunked hoax.
The claim
“NASA confirms Earth will experience total darkness for days.”
What the fact-checkers found
NASA never issued such a statement. The story originates from a satirical/clickbait site and has been recycled for years. No astronomical event causes multi-day global darkness.
