Oh this is very clever. Perspective effects play a bigger role in astronomy than you might think at first.
Astrobites, BTW, writes about journal papers at a moderately technical level. It's a great resource for undergrad/grad students, or high school students who are into the science.

From Sandy Chiu: Cosmic rays don’t always reveal their origins honestly—magnetic fields can create “mirage halos” that look like real gamma-ray sources. New simulations show how a single pulsar can masquerade as three, reshaping how we interpret TeV observations. ⚛️🔭☄🧪
