Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The sun rising from the west is believed to be a sign of the start of the apocalypse. It turns out that this is not just a belief but can be proven scientifically.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration or NASA went viral on social media because of a post that said the US space agency had found potential evidence that the Sun would rise from the west.
The viral information circulated on Facebook in Thai. In it, it is as if NASA has said that the Sun will rise from the West.
The upload of the photo and narrative about the Sun rising from the West on Facebook has been shared more than 15,000 times since January 14 2021.
“NASA confirms the possibility of the Sun rising from the west. The Earth rotates in the opposite direction which causes the sun to rise from the west!!,” wrote the viral text which was also quoted by AFP.
“Researchers believe that we are moving towards the opposite of the magnetic field that will lead us to the end of humanity and close to doomsday,” the viral post wrote.
NASA has also opened its voice in response to the information claim that the sun rises from the west. The agency said it had never issued a prediction regarding this claim.
“Neither NASA nor any other scientific organization predicted the Sun would rise from the west,” said Bettina Inclan, NASA Associate Administrator for Communications.
He confirmed that the magnetic reversal phenomenon could occur and was real, and that a number of scientists had even studied it. This phenomenon occurs on Earth's neighboring planet, Venus, which rotates backwards.
Meanwhile, Venus rotates quite a long time, namely 243 days and the time for the planet to orbit the Sun is equivalent to 225 days on Earth. This means that the Sun will be visible on the surface of Venus only twice a year or once every 117 days.
