Spacecraft operations: May experience surface charging and tracking problems, corrections may be needed for orientation problems. Power systems: Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems will mistakenly trip out key assets from the grid. Other systems: Pipeline currents can reach hundreds of amps, HF (high frequency) radio propagation may be impossible in many areas for one to two days, satellite navigation may be degraded for days, low-frequency radio navigation can be out for hours, and aurora has been seen as low as Florida and southern Texas (typically 40° geomagnetic lat.). Spacecraft operations: May experience extensive surface charging, problems with orientation, uplink/downlink and tracking satellites. Is it just me or does this image of Jupiter remind you of a Dosa? systems: Widespread voltage control problems and protective system problems can occur, some grid systems may experience complete collapse or blackouts. Let’s just hope this French physicist never sees the infamous photo of Jupiter that looks way too much like a dosa. Regardless of what the truth is, we can safely say both Proxima Centauri and mouthwatering chorizo are “heavenly” objects in their own right. “A salutary reminder as to the fact that he made people doubt everything.”ĭo you think the “joke” was obvious from the first tweet? Or did Klein just try and save face using the “it was just a prank, bro” defence? “Your name provides a guarantee so that it does not seem necessary to verify the information!” said Twitter user David Aknin. The original tweet did not seem to have a humorous tone. Others said that though the joke was funny, it was pretty ambiguous given the high-credibility source it was coming from. You should have clarified that it was humour in the same message,” wrote one follower. Many have seen your original tweet, but not the patch. “The only way not to fall into the manipulation of ill-intentioned people is to trust scientists. This teachable moment reeked of BS, and Klein was called out immediately by his followers and peers. Let us learn to be wary of arguments from authority as much as of the spontaneous eloquence of certain images…” “In view of some comments, I feel compelled to clarify that this tweet showing an alleged snapshot of Proxima Centauri was a form of amusement. The response was actually pretty funny, until the 64-year-old decided to add another tweet to his thread, claiming he was only joking in the first tweet and meant for it to be some kind of lesson about misinformation…? Here's a first-ever look at the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy (PHOTOS).First image captured by $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope finally revealed (PHOTOS).This red smudge is actually the oldest galaxy ever observed (PHOTOS).According to contemporary cosmology, no object belonging to Spanish charcuterie exists anywhere but on Earth.” “Well, when it’s time for the aperitif, cognitive biases seem to have a field day,” he wrote. Unfortunately, Klein was soon made aware that the luminous photo of a red-hot star he’d shared was a whole different kind of star - a slice of the delicious and spicy Spanish chorizo sausage.Īt first, Klein blamed a boozy drink for clouding his expert judgment. Photo de Proxima du Centaure, l’étoile la plus proche du Soleil, située à 4,2 année-lumière de nous.Ĭe niveau de détails… Un nouveau monde se dévoile jour après jour. This level of detail… A new world is revealed day after day.” “It was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). “Photo of Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun, located 4.2 light years from us,” he wrote in French. On July 31, award-winning scientist Etienne Klein - who is famous enough to have his own Wikipedia page, by the way - shared an image of what he thought was Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the sun. A renowned French physicist is being roasted on Twitter after sharing a photo of a nearby star, which turned out to be a piece of sliced chorizo.
