A new viral challenge has been showing up with an amazing Broom Trick called the NASA Broom Challenge #NASABroomChallenge with the explanation that it has to do with the effects of gravity on at a certain time of year but Pete Delkus from WFAA in Dallas clears things up.

The real physics explanation of the Broom Trick is the center of gravity on the broom must be low and the bristles spread to hold it up like a tripod. It does not have anything to do with the Earth’s gravity and can be done any time of year.
