NASA has not confirmed any 15-day global darkness event.

The Claim

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration confirmed that Earth will experience 15 consecutive days of total darkness in November 2026.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

NASA has not confirmed any planet-wide period of darkness in November 2026. The story recycles a repeatedly debunked hoax, and NASA’s official 2026 astronomy information lists only ordinary November events. No credible evidence supports either the alleged 15-day phenomenon or its attribution to NASA.

Caveats

  • The story falsely attributes an announcement to NASA without linking to an authentic agency statement.
  • The November 2026 date appears to be a recycled version of a hoax circulated in earlier years.
  • Fifteen consecutive days of planet-wide total darkness is not supported by any documented astronomical event.
