Outline:
Circulating report claims that, come June 1st, Saturn will be closer to Earth than it has been in over 10,000 years and its appearance in the sky will be ‘unlike any other astronomical sight people have seen’. The report, which claims that the information was confirmed by NASA, features an image that depicts Saturn filling the sky above a city.
Brief Analysis:
The claims in the report are utter nonsense. Saturn will not be closer to Earth than it has for 10000 years in June 2016. Nor has the story been confirmed by NASA. And, of course, Saturn will not dominate the sky on June 1st as depicted in the fanciful image. The false story originates from a clickbait fake-news website called now88news.
