So rest assured, broom-havers – you can pull out this little party trick at any time. The craze itself stemmed from an old wives’ tale that first circulated early last decade, that suggested eggs can only stand on their ends during equinoxes – or when the planet is perfectly aligned. (WTNH) The Broomstick Challenge is sweeping the internet right now (Pun intended) The claim is that a gravitational pull, for one night only, will allow your broom to stand on its own. The broomstick challenge is the latest challenge to take over Twitter.
If the mushrooms are interacted with during the day, it will automatically switch to nighttime in Dying Light 2. It can be difficult to control the broomstick at first, and the challenge will need to be completed at night. “Well, it turns out, you can do it again today.”īrooms can stand on their ends because their centre of gravity falls so low, due to its heavy bottom and wide base of bristles that can support its weight. The challenge involves flying through checkpoints as quickly as possible to get the best time. “Did you do the broomstick challenge yesterday?” Noble asks.

In a nine-second video posted on NASA’s official Twitter account, astronaut Alvin Drew and scientist Sarah Noble revealed there is no special forces at play, because “it’s just physics”.Īstronaut Alvin Drew and scientist Sarah Noble respond to the #BroomstickChallenge, showing that basic physics works every day of the year - not just February 10th. It turns out the thousands who took part in the challenge could do it any other day.Īnd no, there is no supposed dramatic fluctuation in gravity that only allows the phenomenon to take place on February 10. Naturally, everyone wanted to see if it really. According to the viral tweet that started this trend, 'NASA said February 10 was the only day' this could happen because of the earths gravitational pull. The rabid response was so extreme that it prompted NASA to take out the trash, and sweep away the misinformation. The 'Broom Challenge' took over Twitter on Monday following claims that on certain days of the year, a broom can stand upright by itself.
Well, for the uninitiated, social media users began sharing clips of their household brooms standing on their bristly end – seemingly as if they were possessed by magic – on a day some proclaimed the world was “perfectly aligned”. PT 2 min read NASA has spoken, and the space agency has a sweeping statement to make about the so-called broomstick challenge, this week's social media fascination.
All of that might sound downright absurd, and that’s because on all accounts it most definitely is.įor starters, why would NASA ever have the desire to say something like that? Every now and then a physical challenge comes along social media that is nothing more than a cute little circus act.
