NASA Confirms Earth Will Experience 6 Days of Total Darkness in December 2014!

0 General updates, Technology 12:42

<br />
<strong>WORLDWIDE -</strong> NASA has confirmed that the Earth will 
experience 6 days of almost complete darkness and will happen from the 
dates Tuesday the 16 – Monday the 22 in December. The world will remain,
 during these three days, without sunlight due to a solar storm, which 
will cause dust and space debris to become plentiful and thus, block 90%
 sunlight.<br />

This is the head of NASA Charles Bolden who made the announcement and
 asked everyone to remain calm. This will be the product of a solar 
storm, the largest in the last 250 years for a period of 216 hours 
total. Reporters interviewed a few people to hear what they had to say 
about the situation with Michael Hearns responding “We gonna be purgin 
my n*gga, six days of darkness means six days of turnin up fam”.<br />

Despite the six days of darkness soon to come, officials say that the
 earth will not experience any major problems, since six days of 
darkness is nowhere near enough to cause major damage to anything. “We 
will solely rely on artificial light for the six days, which is not a 
problem at all”, says NASA scientist Earl Godoy. Visit our website daily
