Do not believe it! The news shocked the above is just a false report. 

The message is spreading misleading since Monday
yesterday through a short message from a mobile phone to chat on the internet media. It would be phenomenal if the event actually occurred.

"I can SMS from my friend yesterday. No, it was a hoax, it often happens," said Chairman Jogja Astro Club Mutoha when confirmed AFP on Tuesday (14/10/2008).

According to him, does not make sense that the tropics have such a thing. If the polar regions, both South Pole and North Pole, such phenomena are common.

"If in the southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere, the darkness is not only 36 hours or even several months. That is, the events repeated every year. South Pole did not have sun exposure for 4 to 5 months, including this month," he said.

Since living in the tropics near the equator, he added, then the length of daylight equals the length of night.

"The earth rotates 24 hours, so logically if the 36 hours it was doomsday," he said.
