This engagement farming account is showing an out of focus image of a star. It is easy to recreate this effect with nearly any telescope. Here is a video of the effect being reproduced by first starting in focus and then gradually unfocusing: https://youtu.be/PjHa5O2EHw4?si=KE9CfTQUIoR2hoWC How to do it yourself: https://petapixel.com/2020/10/05/i-shot-all-these-photos-from-my-yard-heres-how-you-can-do-it-too/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1867689723130716208

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
