At exactly 10:17am ET today the Jovian - Plutonian Gravitational Effect will impact the gravity on Earth. British astrophysicist Patrick Moore discovered that the combined gravitational pull of the alignment of Jupiter and Pluto will cause one to spend a significantly longer amount of time "floating" in the air when jumping up due to an increase in gravitational pull from the celestial objects. Experience the phenomenon by setting a timer and having your entire class jump up into the air at exactly 10:17am. The experience is said to be similar to that of riding a roller coaster or jumping in an elevator as it begins to descend. Experience Zero Gravity! The effect lasts for approximately one minute.
