: 3 days with no sun light?
: Code.Illusionist October 24, 2014, 11:31:20 AM
There is media in my country that announced some news about 3 days complete blackout:

http://www.pressonline.rs/plus/zanimljivosti/332781/nasa-potvrdila-solarnu-oluju-tri-dana-potpunog-mraka-na-zemlji.html

With google translate:
High-ranking leader of NASA, Charles Bodin announced the unusual occurrence of a solar storm, he said the biggest in 50 years, which will last 72 hours, the entire three days. With this announcement is also sent a warning which says that there is no reason for fear or panic and calls on the population to remain calm.

I found this also now: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/comet_elenin.html
NOTE: Please share more information if you find, I just can't. Trying to verify information.

Comet Elenin should be at its brightest shortly before the time of its closest approach to Earth on Oct. 16, 2011
Which means after that it will go away from earth.

“As seen from the Earth, comet Elenin will not cross the sun’s face,” says Yeomans

Your news agency probably got their news from TheOnion, and still this is 3 years old, because at the bottom it says
"Page Last Updated: August 4, 2011", so yeah...

I started to read the nasa.gov article, then I read...
Elenin will pass about 22 million miles (35 million kilometers) from Earth during its closest approach on Oct. 16, 2011.

Did anyone find out any other info regarding the original article?
