Full moon may 2026 to trigger historic global power outage, fake NASA document claims
A viral message circulating on social media claims that a "super" full moon on May 24, 2026 will cause the moon's gravitational pull to disrupt Earth's electrical grid, leading to a coordinated power outage across multiple continents. The message includes a fabricated screenshot of a NASA advisory warning citizens to stockpile batteries and water. However, NASA has confirmed the document is fake, and astronomers say the moon's position will not create unusual tidal or electromagnetic effects. The viral post has been flagged by independent fact-checkers as a hoax designed to spread panic and clickbait.
