A top French scientist Etienne Klein had tweeted an image of a red ball of fire last week apparently taken by the James Webb Space telescope as Twitter celebrated the new discovery, however, the picture turned out to be an image of Spanish sausage chorizo. Klein marvelled at the "level of detail" in his post while highlighting that it was taken by James Webb Space Telescope as the image exploded on Twitter. However, the French scientist backtracked saying it wasn't a star but spicy Spanish sausage chorizo. pic.twitter.com/88UBbHDQ7Z — Etienne KLEIN (@EtienneKlein) July 31, 2022 ×Klein urged "caution" over "images that seem to speak for themselves" while apologising for the mistake.
