![]() However there are no records anywhere of NASA making any kind of statement like this. Many rumours claim that NASA has stated it is possible because of a specific “tilt” or a specific gravitational pull on Earth. ![]() That too was nonsense, and so is this.įirstly, there is no record of NASA making any kind of statement related to standing brooms (or anything else) on their ends during a specific day of the year. Similar rumours have persisted over the years that claim you can only stand an egg on its end during the equinox. While it is true that a whole variety of brooms really can be stood on their ends without being held up, it has nothing to do with the equinox or planetary alignments, nor is it only possible on a specific day of the year. Other variants claim it is because of the spring (vernal) equinox. Some variants of the rumour claim that it is because of the gravitational pull created by a specific alignment of the planets. This is because the spring equinox takes place around March 20 and the autumn equinox takes place around September 22.Messages online claim that NASA has announced that you can stand a broom on its end during a specific day of the year. Going by this, February 10 is a wrong date regardless. Therein, the belief was that nature was in balance if you could balance an egg on the equinox. The article further referenced a Snopes article in 1999 an article that revealed that the act of standing eggs upright on certain special days started in China. ‘ It occurs on specific dates, every year, identified as the vernal and autumnal equinox an example was the “eggs can balance on their ends” myth. Newsweek gives a little background to how it all started here revealing that this viral claim originates from a ‘longstanding urban myth or old wives’ tale. It’s an old hoax!Ī video from ‘2012’ – yes, the hoax is not new – attached to the article further explains the logic. It further surmised provided the bristles were positioned as a tripod, the brush would stand upright any day of the year. It merely explains the broom’s ability to stand on its own is consequent on its low centre of gravity. Further research took us to NASA’s Twitter page where we found this video, setting the record straight.Īlso, this CNN article goes against the notion that booms can only stand on February 10 because of the gravitational pull on the day. NASA’s news releases for 10th and 11th of February did not suggest anything of the sort. Nonetheless, Dubawa decided to start its research from the alleged source of the information’s website we couldn’t find anything that supports the viral claim. ![]() While Twitter users attributed the claims to The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), they failed to indicate where and when the US body made the statement. ![]() Some related it to a particular myth that eggs can stand on its ends during an equinox a date on which both the day and night are of equal length. While some users believe the preachings of the claim to be accurate, others identify it as a mere hoax. There have been contrasting views on the subject matter. This hashtag, allegedly, was brought about by a prior announcement made by th e National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).Īs conveyed by a Twitter User, this body has said, “today is the only day that brooms will stay up on it’s own due to Earth’s gravitational pull today.” Subsequently, the Twitter community decided to put it to practice, posting videos of standing brooms, and in some other cases, videos of attempts to make the broom stand. Topping the Twitter trend table on 10th and 11th of February is #broomchallenge. Therefore, brooms can stand on its own on any day of the year and not limited to particular days. Besides NASA debunking the claim, several publications have also identified this assertion as a hoax that has been in existence for long. ![]()

This philosophy became especially true when Ross discovered such illustrators as Andrew Loomis and the great Norman Rockwell. When I was 12, I would imitate Perez s style when I drew superheroes and Wrightson s style when I was doing serious work. Perez, on the other hand, had a very attractive, open style with open contour lines and very little shadow. There weren t a lot of comic book artists employing shadows back then. Wrightson, probably best known as the co-creator of Swamp Thing, "used a lot of delicate lines to delineate shadow and tone. "They were at opposite ends of the spectrum," Ross recalls. Superheroes aren t heroes because they re strong they re heroes because they perform acts that look beyond themselves."Īs he edged towards adulthood, Ross began reading comics and taking his draftsmanship seriously, admiring the work of comic book illustrators George Perez and Berni Wrightson in particular. There was a positive effect to being around him, and his actions tied into what the superhero comics were teaching me. He used to run a children s shelter in Lubbock. "My dad has given aid - physical aid, not just financial - to a number of charities and causes. Ross is quick to credit his father Clark, a minister, with laying the moral framework that allowed him to appreciate the routinely good deeds performed by the likes of Superman and Spider-Man. The best characters embody virtues we may try to find in ourselves." ![]() "Superheroes are a mixture of every form of fiction – myth, science-fiction, mystery and magic – all in one giant pot. "It s a fun environment to be in," he admits. Some cynics might confuse this attitude with escapism. I wanted to bring these characters to life." "I guess I knew this was what I wanted to do. "I just fell in love with the notion that there were colorful characters like this, performing good, sometimes fantastic deeds," Ross says. Ross came from an artistic family: his mother was a commercial artist and his grandfather, he recalls, "built working wooden toys and loved drawing." When Ross discovered Spider-Man on an episode of The Electric Company, his life was changed forever. It s a job he s been preparing for nearly all his life.īorn in Portland, Oregon, and raised in Lubbock, Texas, Alex made his artistic debut at three when, according to his mother, he grabbed a piece of paper and drew the contents of a television commercial he d seen moments before. Looking back, it makes perfect sense that Alex Ross would become one of the world s most pre-eminent and well-respected comic book artists.
