Was the eclipse just a huge hoax?

The solar eclipse that occurred over the United States this week was a wonder and a marvel. Everyone who saw it agreed that it was moving, stirring, possibly even life-changing.

Everyone, that is, except the people who didn't believe it really happened.

Basically, the concept has taken on a life of its own on social media.

Bizarrely, there were lots of posts claiming it was a hoax perpetuated by China. No one seemed to be able to explain exactly why China would do that.

Others thought it was the scientists themselves who were having everyone on...

Conspiracy theories abounded.

In fact, we're pretty sure half of these tweets are people just trolling – who are the hoaxers here, really??
