The #broomchallenge has people all over the world photographing and filming their brooms standing upright without any support.

Many people have cited Nasa as the inspiration to do this, and/or posted claims of gravitational or celestial phenomena as the reason behind the balancing brooms.

However, the space agency does not appear to have made any public statement about the Earth's gravitational effect on brooms.

Freestanding brooms have nothing to do with planetary alignments, the full moon, or gravitational pulls, despite the claims of some social media users.

The earliest uses of #broomchallenge this year were from users in Mexico around 4 February.

According to this graph, "Internet" is not a trusted news source. Therefore, links to the BBC are not to be trusted, only radio waves from Broadcasting House.
