    Somehow, this picture from NASA does not merit the furor of social issues of our day.

    My news sources?

    NBC News, Fox News, Huffington Post, CNN, BBC, NYT, Time, various others.

    Then I sort it out.

    Ok sorry knee-jerk response to your strawman reply. Ok so with that said, I'll play, what warning or explanation were you trying to convey?

    Sorry, when I ask if I should infer a particular thing from something you wrote, you can't then claim that I made a strawman. If that is not what you meant, just say so. My apologies for my incorrect possible inference.

    The warning was for those who might not have noticed that it was Fox News that produced the article. The explanation was for those who were confused about why it should be in the news at all.

    Apology accepted. Why did you feel that a warning or an explanation was necessary that Fox News produced this story? The same news was reported by hundreds if not thousands of other news media outlets, including the psychology phenomenon known as pareidolia and they all said basically the same exact thing.
