What is the BroomstickChallenge? Trend sweeps social media over fake link to NASA and planetary alignment
As the trend goes to show, it is possible to stand a broomstick upright without it instantly falling over. But if you could stand your broom up yesterday, you will also be able to stand your broom up today or any day of the year.
Hey you wanna hear something wild? That broom balancing thing? You can do it tomorrow. And the day after. And next week. And next month. Because planetary alignment has nothing to do with balancing a broom on its bristles. Stop taking pictures of brooms.The urban myth has even gone through scientific testing. Astronomer Frank D. Ghigo studied the phenomenon, showing that it is possible to balance eggs on the equinox. He was also able to balance eggs on days that were not the equinox.
″The upshot is that, as far as I can tell, there isn't too much relationship between astronomical phenomena and balancing eggs," Ghigo toldAnd as for claims that NASA encouraged the challenge, there is no evidence that is the case. Iâm seeing a lot of tweets about being able to balance a broom on last Friday â sorry folks, thatâs an urban myth â with ppl saying *NASA* issued the challenge. But Iâm seeing no links, nothing, to an original NASA source. Anyone see one?
