  1. It’s amazing what people will do. Here’s a photo of Exoplanet 13562. It looks like an edible Earth fruit. But really, it’s an exoplanet missing its atmosphere. No one knows why the air disappeared, but billions of litres of water is frozen under the blue crust. The planet is bizarrely covered with Lazurite and ancient canals are visible to the naked eye. Someone with a sense of humor, photoshopped this planet to look like a plum. Adding stem and leaves and a little nub in the end. I’m all for a joke, but it’s wrong to say a photograph is something it’s not. People who post a photo and then make up some some crazy Sci-Fi story to go along with it, should be thrown in the stocks and have rotten tomatoes tossed at them. Actually bananas, have bananas tossed at them. I like bananas. Bananas are good.
