Sweeping Away The Myth: NASA Broom Challenge Isn't Real

CHICAGO (CBS)-- The latest craze sweeping the internet, isn't real.

A viral post claimed NASA said brooms would stand upright Monday because of the "gravitational pull"

NASA never actually said this, and the truth is, you can make a broom stand upright on any given day. It has everything to do with balance.

Even though the trick has nothing to do with gravitational pull, people have been trying it and sharing photos and video all over social media.
