What NASA Says About Earth Losing Gravity This Summer
Rumors are spreading that Earth will “lose gravity” on August 12, 2026—but what does NASA actually say? Scientists confirm that no such event is expected, and gravity on Earth isn’t something that can suddenly switch off. These viral claims often come from misunderstood astronomical alignments or old internet myths. In reality, the forces holding us to the planet remain stable and constant. Watch now to uncover where this rumor came from—and why it’s not happening.Credit:
