Solar activity (like flares and coronal mass ejections) can cause auroras and affect satellites and power grids, but these are routine phenomena — not end‑of‑world signals. For example, recent space weather has already caused notable auroras at lower latitudes.
🌎 Normal Earth and Space Events
Lunar eclipses and other predictable celestial events.
Routine asteroid flybys — near‑Earth objects pass by Earth frequently at safe distances.
Scientific missions and exploration milestones — e.g., asteroid sample return missions are ongoing, but are about research, not danger.
📅 Annual Human Activities
Some planned events around late May 2026 (with no connection to Earth destruction) include:
Entertainment seasons or festivals scheduled around that date.
Why Do These “Apocalyptic Date” Rumors Spread?
It’s understandable why these kinds of claims attract attention — they often promise dramatic change, mystery, or hidden truths. However:
People are drawn to patterns and dramatic narratives. They latch onto dates that repeat on social media or become memes.
🌍 2. Lack of Scientific Context
Most doomsday claims don’t involve actual physics, astronomy, or geology — they’re often guesses, misinterpretations, or outright fabrications.
🔥 3. Viral Sensationalism
Bold headlines like “BREAKING NEWS: Earth will begin to…” generate clicks and shares, even if the content isn’t factual.
