Spoiler: It's chorizo. A French scientist apologized after tweeting a photo of a slice of chorizo that he claimed was a deep-space image of a "distant star" snapped by the James Webb Space Telescope. Étienne Klein, a physicist and research director at France's Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, shared the spicy Spanish sausage shot on social media last week, applauding the "level of detail" it provided. A few days after his post, Klein revealed the photo he tweeted was not from the world’s most powerful space telescope. He admitted he tweeted a slice of the reddish, speckled meat. "I feel compelled to clarify that this tweet showing an alleged snapshot of Proxima Centauri was a form of amusement. Let us learn to be wary of arguments from authority as much as of the spontaneous eloquence of certain images," he wrote, as translated by Google. 🔗 Head over to our link in bio for the full story.
