[HIGHLIGHTS] From "three days of darkness" to natural disasters: we verify some conspiracy theories about the solar eclipse

April 8 will see a total solar eclipse over North America. Some have speculated about the eclipse's supposed negative consequences, without evidence.

There will not be three days of total darkness, according to NASA. Some users claim that earthquakes will be felt in the United States and Mexico. There is no scientific evidence that there is a correlation between eclipses and earthquakes. The next time a totalSolarEclipse will be visible from North America will be in 2044, experts say. The eclipse will last a maximum of 4 minutes and 28 seconds, specifically in an area near Torreón, Mexico.
