Recently, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has transmitted imaging new spatial connections between galaxies and stars, providing access to the distant past of the universe. This discovery caused a stir and is still being talked about in the media and social networks, but it has also become the target of fake news and misinformation.
The first images from the James Webb Telescope were released on July 12th, and on the same day, a video on Facebook by MAG TRUTH BAM, questioning the authenticity of the photos and the existence of the telescope.
In the video, which is about 13 minutes long and includes various images – parts of White House conference and NEWS television about the discoveries of the space telescope – there is a commentator behind who attempts to “expose this fraud to the masses”.
“THE REAL REASON WHY 'NASA' IS PUSHING THE JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE INTO THE NEW WORLD ORDER WORLDWIDE Famine HAS ALREADY BEGAN,” is the video's title.
“I can’t believe they keep calling this a hoax,” he says. “But you know what? In the new world order, that’s what they’ll be able to do. They’ll give all this nonsense to the masses.” He goes on to claim that the telescope can’t be real and that it’s impossible to transmit images to Earth because there’s “nothing that carries the internet in space.” Also, according to the commentator, the photos the telescope took can’t be real because galaxies don’t exist and the Earth is “covered by a cube and in a blocked environment.”
Facebook has flagged this post as "high risk" because its claims lack any basis or facts. Facebook has done this as part of its efforts to combat fake news and misinformation in the News Feed.
The development and construction of the James Webb Space Telescope is documented well over the years, since 1996 it explores our cosmic history and the origins of the universe by looking at galaxies billions of miles away from Earth.
And the video's claim that galaxies don't exist is also unfounded. Since the times of ancientIn the fifth century BC, the Greek philosopher Democritus theorized about the night sky as a bright band of light and a collection of stars. He described a portion of the Milky Way galaxy.
Contrary to what the Facebook video implies, transmitting a signal through space is not impossible and has been happening since the invent radio in the 1890s. Radio and television signals originating from Earth have even traveled outside our solar system.
As well as for claim that the Earth is a flat disk located under a dome with the sun, moon and stars, there is much evidence that refutes the theory, including images of Earth that have been taken from space over the years.
