The August 12, 2026 "Zero Gravity" Hoax — and What Will Really Happen That Day

Описание: On August 12th, 2026, the Earth will not lose gravity for seven seconds — that viral claim is false, and this video shows exactly how it fell apart. What actually happens that day is better: a total solar eclipse crossing Europe for the first time since 1999, six planets above the dawn horizon, and a Perseid meteor peak on a moonless night — the best conditions until 2045.
