“The Earth will be dark for 15 days” says NASA… “LOL NOPE!!”

While Earth celebrates a successful 9 year mission in the making (New Horizons doing its flyby of Pluto), the human race is in for a major event in late November.
According to “NASA” (and this article), they have “confirmed” that between November 15th to the 30th, there will be known as the ‘November Blackout’. Aka, what you see at night (or if you lived up in Iceland during the Winter months) will be for 15 DAYS… 15 days, of complete darkness. Day and Night, total darkness.
How it will happen, Venus and Jupiter will get in such a position which would cause Venus to heat up 10 times hotter than Jupiter, and cause Jupiter to send a shitload of Hydrogen at the Sun, causing it to turn blue for 15 days. This is how long it’ll take for the Sun to recover.
As for the planet to get a new ice age, “NASA” actually said the tempature of Earth will be 6-8 degrees warmer, due to the color of the Sun (as we all know, blue stars are hotter).

.
Right…so, this is what “NASA” said as a statement to the public…. and if you haven’t figured out how ridiculous the above sounds (and as many times as I put quotes around ‘NASA’),.. well, this is clearly a hoax. If you have, congratulations.
Basically, I saw the whole New Horizons thing on Twitter, and there was this site called ‘NewsWatch33.com’. Along the strange news that I personally never heard before, one really caught my attention, and that was the article that I linked at the beginning. It literally scared the shit out of me when I read it. I couldn’t breath, I felt I was frozen in fear. 15 days of… darkness?! Fuck!! It felt like one of those “End of the World” scenarios. Yet as time went on, I started to question the authenticity of this article (especially the fact the official website, NASA.org), said nothing about it.

I looked around the web, frantically searching for anything about this ‘November Blackout”. All I saw where references to a major power blackout in the Northeast US around 1965. Nothing about this. I narrowed my search, and found this website called ‘thatisfake.com’. Just by reading the description, it said this whole “15 days of darkness” thing is totally and completely false.
Here’s the article, calling this ‘NewsWatch33.com’ site a fake news website.
There was also other entries that I found while searching, stating “The world will plunge into darkness for 6 days in June 2015”, and that was made last year. And of course that was obviously fake (as we’re currently in July’s mid-month).

I mean, if you think about it, there’s just no way something like this could happen. It sounds way… way too Sci-Fi for it to be real. And the fact it was ONLY on that website, really made me question if this was a hoax. And it was. So rejoice, my fellow Earthlings! The world ISN’T coming to an end.. yet!
Still, it pisses me off how the owners of these websites do this for ‘shits and giggles’ by initiating fear on the public. It’s just as bad as the SPC issuing out a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for an area of the US, when there’s no real need for one.
