'Internet Hoax: Nasa announcement of 6 days total darkness on December caused by solar storm'
'According to the article by Huzlers.com, NASA has confirmed that the world will be enveloped in total darkness during a week in December due to a solar storm. The fake Huzlers story states that a massive solar storm will “not cause major damage to anything.” This, of course, would not be true of a solar storm, which could potentially bring down the entire power grid. That story is the resurgence of an end of the world “3 days of darkness” rumor which was tied to the end of the Mayan calendar.'
Or one could check the NASA website and see no mention of such a monumental story in the immediate headlines.
And if this darkness story was true, certainly it would be documented universally from credible sources.

'This news stirred netizens in different directions that the article garnered tens of thousands of likes and comments.'
In a related story the world security industry takes a huge sigh of relieve that it will not have to potentially pay its security officers overtime rates or danger pay for having to work in total darkness for six days straight.
Conditions of total darkness would be potentially more dangerous for security officers.
'Catastrophe' averted.

According to Scopes.com, the rumor has now taken many forms and the site intends to clear things. “No, the universe is not about to realign in December 2014, nor will there be a three-day blackout at that time during which the Earth will shift into a new dimension. Neither NASA nor any other credible scientific entity has made such a pronouncement. Ever,” “This item originated back in 2012, when interest in the belief that the Mayan calendar would end on 21 December 2012 (thus foretelling the end of the world as we know it) was running high, and it has simply been updated and recirculated with the year 2014 replacing the original references to 2012,” the site says.
Again, why would someone not simply check with the NASA site to see if this story was fact or fiction?
Or see fiction immediately...
