He Shared Sausage Photo By Saying New Image From James Webb

The James Webb Space Telescope has been the internet’s new joke ever since it shared the clearest galaxy photos ever taken with Earth. But it seems that this is done not only on the Internet, but also among scientists. Because a scientist who recently shared on his social media account, managed to deceive the entire internet by participating in these jokes.

Director of the Atomic Energy Commission of France Etienne KleinIn his post on his Twitter account, he shared a photo of ‘Proxima Centauri’, the closest star to our Sun, which he said was taken by James Webb. But the photo in question is actually just a sausage slice contained.

Thousands of people believed the sausage photo:

Photo “This level of detail.. A new world emerges every day”, Klein collected more than 10 thousand likes and comments on Twitter. Although many people understood the joke in these comments, because the sausage does indeed look like a space object if not looked carefully. He also gathered comments from those who believed in the joke.

He had to apologize for the sausage photo:

Unfortunately, Klein said that his post was taken seriously by a considerable number of people. He had to explain his joke. He made the following statements under his post:

“Considering some of the comments, I feel compelled to clarify that this tweet, which supposedly shows a snapshot of Proxima Centauri, is some kind of entertainment. Let’s learn to be wary of the plausibility of certain images as well as arguments from authority…”

“I’ve come to apologize to those who may have been shocked by my inauthentic deception in no way. I asked to be wary of images that alone seem meaningful.”
