Earth will lose gravity for 7 seconds — release countdown cover image
Official Event Link
A secret NASA document named "Project Anchor" leaked in November 2024, revealing the agency believed the Earth would "lose gravity" for seven seconds on Aug. 12, 2026. (Edited - Update from NASA: The Earth will not lose gravity on Aug. 12, 2026. Earth's gravity, or total gravitational force, is determined by its mass. The only way for the Earth to lose gravity would be for the Earth system, the combined mass of its core, mantle, crust, ocean, terrestrial water, and atmosphere, to lose mass. A total solar eclipse has no unusual impact on Earth's gravity. )
