NASA has confirmed that the Earth will experience 15 days of total darkness between November 15 and November 29, 2017. The event, according to NASA, hasn’t occurred in over 1 Million years.

Astronomers from NASA have indicated that the world will remain in complete darkness starting on Sunday, November 15, 2017 at 3 a.m. and will end on Monday, November 30, 2017 at 4:15 p.m. According to officials, the “November Black Out” event will be caused by another astronomical event between Venus and Jupiter.

Charles Bolden, who was appointed to head of NASA by President Obama, issued a 1000 page document explaining the event to the White House.

There's no way something that huge would happen, and NASA only gives us two months' warning.

This. Like other people've said, this is a #fakenews article that recirculates every year or so.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/nasa-confirms-six-days-of-darkness-in-december-no-they-really-dont-its-a-hoax-9822744.html

Sunday, November 15, 2015
https://www.theweathernetwork.com/us/news/articles/stargazing/15-days-of-darkness-in-november-its-not-going-to-happen/59808/

http://www.snopes.com/15-days-darkness-november/

Back in July 2015, the fake news web site Newswatch33 published an article titled “NASA Confirms Earth Will Experience 15 Days of Complete Darkness in November 2015,” reporting that:

NASA has confirmed that the Earth will experience 15 days of total darkness between November 15 and November 29, 2015. The event, according to NASA, hasn’t occurred in over 1 Million years.

Astronomers from NASA have indicated that the world will remain in complete darkness starting on Sunday, November 15, 2015 at 3 a.m. and will end on Monday, November 30, 2015 at 4:15 p.m. According to officials, the “November Black Out” event will be caused by another astronomical event between Venus and Jupiter.

Charles Bolden, who was appointed to head of NASA by President Obama, issued a 1000 page document explaining the event to the White House.
This bit of fake news was lifted from an older (debunked) viral rumor that had already been around the online block several times before and has long since become an “evergreen” online hoax — a jape that is typically resurrected a few times a year by dubious web sites that simply update the time span for the alleged “period of darkness” and send it winging around the Internet again.

While Charles Bolden is a real NASA official, he issued no report or announcement about “15 days of darkness.” Moreover, Newswatch33 web site was not a legitimate news outlet, but a fake news site that began darkening the doorstep of social media networks shortly after the nearly identical NewsWatch28 fake news site shut down in mid-2015.


No mention on NASA, by the way. https://www.nasa.gov/

For an event that would kill a metric-fuckton of plantlive that need sunlight to live, not to mention killing solar energy output for two weeks, no. Two months advance notice is a joke.

Wait, meaning it *did* happen? That almost sounds like another hoax, because I can't see any way for the Earth to become blacked out for 15 days straight.

I am far from a climate expert, but given that a mild cold snap could change the temperature by that much for 15 days, I think you're overblowing this.

Considering the temperature dropped by 5-6 degrees in the totality areas during the recent eclipse, I think we'd seem much more significant decreases than that. I have no idea if it would actually be an extinction event, but I have to imagine it would be pretty catastrophic for a lot of the world.

Yes.... so it would be like the entire planet had a cold snap all at the same time. Still not a huge deal.

I mean, if this went on for a year or longer, I could definitely see it being a catastrophic extinction event. And while 15 days without sunlight certainly wouldn't be good for the planet and would result in an elevated level of death and destruction, I would be very surprised if it reached the level where entire species were going extinct.

except it is a huge deal, a very huge deal.

this isn't "oh it's just a cold snap"

this is actual climates shifting. super cell storms would happen because of the drastic change in temperature from what was there, to what is there.

In an extremely short term. Once the sun returned, things would normalize again relatively quickly.

Yes, we'd probably see some pretty wild weather, no disagreement here. That's still not the same thing as saying it would be an extinction event.

It is caused by a small black hole that orbits our sun once every million years. It is just strong enough, as it passes between the orbit of Mercury and Venus, to bend the light, from our sun, into it for about 15 days. Winter is likely to be very cold for everyone during the event.
