FLINT, Mich - Scroll through social media and you will most likely see pictures and videos of brooms standing on their own.
A common posts on Twitter says "you can stand a broom up only today because of a gravitational pull that will occur only today."
People are also citing NASA saying NASA announced that on Feb. 10, and only Feb. 10, can people stand up a broom because of the earth’s gravitational pull.
NASA has not posted anything about the broom challenge.
In case you haven’t seen this if you stand a broom up today only it will balance itself and stay in place. Gravitational pull that will only occur today. #nasa #broomchallenge
