KICKER: WE NEVER SAUSAGE A THING

NEIL/ANCHOR: Over the past few weeks, Newsline has carried 
stories about the fabulous images transmitted back to Earth from 
the James Webb telescope. We end this week's newscast with an 
update, a report that has.....even more...meat to it. Here's Paul 
Braun, WD9GCO.

PAUL: Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away there was a 
French physicist with a report that was also far, far away...in 
this case, from reality: In late July, a very excited scientist, 
Etienne Klein, posted an image on his Twitter account, 
identifying it as the James Webb telescope's highly detailed 
capture of Proxima Centauri which, at 4.2 light years away from 
Earth, is the closest star to the sun. It is so close to the sun, 
in fact, you might say it sizzles. In this case, it sizzles like 
sausage -- because that's what it turned out to be: a single 
round slice of chorizo, a type of savory Spanish smoked sausage, 
in closeup under the camera lens. Klein later admitted his post 
was a light-hearted deception but only after thousands of his 
Twitter followers - who presumably were NOT vegetarians - had 
approved of the image. He told French media later that the tweet 
was meant only as a joke and insisted that any and all reports of 
celestial sausage are, you might say, tough to swallow. You might 
even call it a bit of baloney.

This is Paul Braun, WD9GCO.
