The Broomstick Challenge sweeps the nation every February, but is it real? Here's the truth behind if brooms can only stand up on certain days, and what NASA has to say about it.
Thousands of people took to social media to share photos and videos of brooms standing up on their own, seemingly validating the claim that this phenomenon was made possible by a mysterious trick of gravity.Despite the"proof" circulating online, the science behind the Broom Challenge is just a myth.
This CNN video from 2012 explains what's really happening with everyone's brooms—and proves that this urban legend has been circulating for nearly a decade. Apparently, the center of gravity is low on a broomstick and it rests directly over the bristles, allowing the entire broom to stand upright when positioned like a tripod.
