For years, an image attributed to the American space agency NASA has been circulating, which is said to be of the “Cerenity Nebula,” which is a huge cloud of dust and gas located in the farthest points of space. Some publications state that the image was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, which was specially designed to observe distant objects and stars in space. What is the truth about the picture? The image spread widely across social media in 2017, but recently posts containing the image have been recirculated again across Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. In fact, this image is not real, as no photos of this nebula have been taken before, but what is circulating is a digital image of it.

According to NASA, this nebula may be the birthplace of many stars, as well as their ending place. The Snopes website tried to find the origin of the image by searching the gallery of nebula images of NASA’s Hubble Telescope, but the image was not found. NASA’s official website also did not include any coverage, research, or pictures about this nebula. The first appearance of this image was on the DeviantArt website in 2012, which is a club that brings together many artists who display their artwork there. The image belongs to the artist Casperium, who then denounced the increasing use of the image without respect for copyright. The owner of the photo wrote in one of the comments that people mistakenly believe that it belongs to NASA, and this evidence prompted the site to confirm that the photo is fake.
