Dream - Netizens on social media are currently discussing a narrative that mentions the Earth will experience darkness for three consecutive days. In a video circulating on social media, it is explained that the Earth will undergo darkness for 72 hours. This event is predicted to occur on April 8, 2024, or a few days before the arrival of Idul Fitri 1445 H.

In that event, there will be a Annular Solar Eclipse in some regions, including the United States (US) and Canada. Responding to this, the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) denies that the earth will experience darkness for three days as the narrative circulating on social media.

The natural phenomenon only lasts for a few hours, with the peak of totality lasting for a short period of time. This means that the narrative stating that the Earth will experience darkness for 3 days will not occur. In terms of nature, Thomas explained that the peak of the Annular Solar Eclipse does indeed result in a lack of light but only temporarily.

Thomas said that all the mentioned causes of Earth's darkness have no scientific basis. "Earth did experience total darkness for years due to a collision with a 10-kilometer asteroid. It happened 66 million years ago," said Thomas.
