Why is spectacular in quotations? I keep seeing this in headlines, is it because they're quoting a single word?

Why is spectacular in quotations? I keep seeing this in headlines, is it because they're quoting a single word?
- not_a_bot_4sho 6mo agoYes
- tantalor 6mo agoIt's lazy "editorializing"
- jameshart 6mo agoQuite the opposite.
- jameshart 6mo agoIt’s a BBC journalistic standards thing; the BBC doesn’t want to express an opinion about the image, they are relaying that as a quote from someone about the image. The word “spectacular” is attributed to NASA in the article.
