There are a lot of rumors about changes in our planet Earth spreading on the internet, but most of them are just hoax, making us think if there are really strange will happen to our planet, but this time, it is for sure. NASA confirmed that there will be a total blackout for 15 days this coming November 2017, starting from November 15 to November 29.
NASA report this strange phenomenon before but they didn't know the exact date. Upon researching, the astronomers from NASA confirmed that it will start on November 15 at 3:00 am and will most likely last until November 30, 4:45 pm.
This blackout will be caused by astronomical event between Jupiter and Venus. There was also a detailed document written by Charles Bolden, head of NASA explaining the strange event to officials at the White House.
According to the report, during this period Jupiter and Venus will come in close proximity of each other and will be separated by just 1 degree. Venus will go to the south-west of Jupiter that will cause Venus to shine 10 times brighter than Jupiter that will cause to heat up the gases in Jupiter causing a reaction which will release a high amount of hydrogen into space. This reaction will reach the Sun at 2:50 am on November 15.
Once it reaches the sun, it will cause a massive explosion on the surface of the Sun, increasing the temperature to more than 9000 degrees. Because of the so much heat, the Sun will change its color bluish shade. The sun needs more than 14 days to restore its normal color and temperature.
As a result of these events, the sun's light will be dimmer as it used to and this is what the 15-day blackout NASA is talking about.
“We do not expect any major effects from the Blackout event. The only effect this event will have on Earth is an increase of 6 – 8 degrees in temperature. the polar cap will be most affected by this. No one should worry much. This event would be similar to what Alaskans experience in the winter”, Bolden said.
