The image of the Green Moon and the "fake" explanation for this unreal phenomenon. |
According to this information, due to the position of the planets in the solar system entering a special position, the Moon will turn green for 90 minutes.
Many people believe this information to be true, while others are skeptical, but whether you believe it or not, the Green Moon phenomenon is still being shared quite quickly on social networks.
Actually this is fake information and has just been "unearthed".
Fact-checking websites say the Green Moon rumor has been around since 2016, when a Facebook account said that on May 29, 2016, the phenomenon would occur because Uranus would be closest to the Moon, causing the Moon to turn green for 90 minutes.
The photo posted with this information was "made" in 2010, meticulously transforming the moon into a beautiful green color.
Then, in 2017, this information was "unearthed" and the Green Moon was "postponed" to appear on April 20. This was a prank by some people because April 20 is the anniversary of "marijuana" and marijuana is green.
Then in 2018, the Green Moon information appeared again.
During all three times there was news of a Green Moon, many Facebook accounts shared information, promising to witness an interesting phenomenon.
In reality, there is no such thing as a Green Moon. This is fake news that is based on moon color-changing phenomena such as Blue Moon, Blood Moon...
