It's amazing how little coverage this story gets, and no coverage at all from mainstream media. They don't seem to cover any story that would bring their credibility into question.

Even the headline of the article I linked above is misleading: "Scientist tried to pass off piece of chorizo as a distant star" -- Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to Earth besides the sun. So yeah, it's a "distant star", but it's also the closest one to us outside of our solar system.
