00:00This Friday, the sky is about to go completely dark, and some believe it's a terrifying sign of the end times.
00:06A rare black moon will rise on August 22, and while scientists are excited, many on social media are sounding the alarm.
00:14That's because this phenomenon, the second new moon in a single month, is being linked to a chilling biblical prophecy.
00:21Mark 13.24 warns,
00:23The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, a verse that's fueling apocalyptic fears.
00:30People are posting warnings like, maybe we should prepare just in case, and those who know what this means are already worried.
00:36But hold on. Astronomers say there's nothing to fear.
00:40It's not an omen or a sign of doom, just a shadowy twin of the more famous blue moon.
00:45And while you won't actually see the moon, because it's completely dark, the skies will be clearer than ever.
00:51So look up. Venus, Mars, Orion, Taurus, and Leo will shine brighter than usual in this rare celestial moment.
00:58No doomsday, just darkness and stars.
