15 STRAIGHT DAYS OF DARKNESS IN NOVEMBER 2015

HOW TRUE IS IT? READ TO FIND OUT


S. ESAENWI, G. OKOROJI, D. NWAGBARA AND C. N. OFODUM

Prior to the article released on 14th July, 2015 by Newswatch 33 that the earth will experience A
15-Day of darkness from 15 29th , November, 2015 due to An Astronomical Between Jupiter
and Venus. The source also mentioned that one of the NASAs scientists Charles Bolden has
submitted a 1000 page document to President Barack Obama. According to the document,
Venus and Jupiter will engage in a close parallelism only separated by one degree apart on the
26th of October, causing a reaction that will release unprecedented amount of Hydrogen gas into
space. The gas will come in contact with the suns surface (Photosphere) and cause an explosion.
The explosion will cause the sun to rise from 5700k 9000k, thus this heat will cause the sun to
dim and will take bluish color to counter this effect. The earth will then experience 15 days
darkness before the sun will regain its normal brightness.
The above explanation seems scientifically correct but lacks objective justification, accuracy and
empirical evidence to support its claim.
In the light of the above, Centre for Basic Space Science scientists headed by Mr. Esaenwi S. and
our Canadian Collaborators headed by Wolfang decided to put forward a concrete and
convincing evidence to justify the authenticity of the above event.
What they did was look at the two planets characteristics with respect to their relationship with
the sun and the earth.

Comparing the quantities, it appears there is no way such event can take place, though certain
physical characteristics of Jupiter and Venus may trigger it.
Based on the above, our team carried out thorough calculation using these physical
characteristics to ascertain the authenticity of such event. Unfortunately, accurate scientific data
was not provided, thus the event cannot be strongly justified.
While CBSS scientists and their Canadian collaborators were planning to calm the public on this
unprecedented event, a news report released by NASA on 22nd July claims that the article is false
and that Newswatch 33 website is not a legitimate broadcasting station or outlet. NASA is a
strong and reliable astronomical body, thus astronomical information provided by them are
highly reliable. The information is neither from NASA nor CBSS, thus is not only false but
misleading. Newswatch 33 is a fake news site that is capable of darkening the doorstep of social
media network. It began shortly after an identical Newswatch 28 fake news site was shut down
mid-2015.
CBSS against the above back drop, therefore assures the public to stay calm and go on with their
normal activities as the above report has been confirmed to be false. If such event will take place,
we will inform the public and safety measures to be taken to overcome the panic will be made
known.

Details of calculations if Questions may arise


Formula: d = c*t
1 day = 86400sec
from 26 + 015 = 21days = 86400*21 = ?
v=?
d = 5.2 Au where I Au = 1.5*1011m
Luminosity of the sun is 4.0*1026watts
So our justification is

At what % will the suns luminous intensity drop to cause bluish color?
If temperature rise to 9000K, what has that to do with the suns shrinking?
What are the quantum effect to the counter effect?
What about the magnetic field effect?
So many other scientific facts were unknown.
