My cousin shared a viral post claiming NASA confirmed a 15-day darkness event in November, and I spent 20 minutes finding the source
It traced back to a 2015 clickbait site with no author and a stock photo of a solar flare. Why do people share these without even checking if NASA has a page about it?

Checking the source takes less time than sharing the post, but people would rather believe a wild story than do a quick search. The real problem is that facts are boring and a 15-day blackout sounds exciting, so the clickbait wins every time.
