A hoax that could scare people

Redone with more accurate information it could be the basis for a new Sci-Fi novel or story.

PLANET-DISSOLVING DUST CLOUD IS HEADED TOWARD EARTH! is the title of an interesting but ficticious article.

By its obvious inaccuracies the article itself lets us know it’s a hoax. The statement, "To avoid widespread panic, NASA has declined to make the alarming discovery public. But Dr. Sherwinski's contacts at the agency's Chandra X-ray Observatory leaked to him striking images of the newly discovered chaos cloud obliterating a large asteroid."

All "asteroids" are within our solar system. There are no "asteroids" as far as ten light years away from us. Besides, we have no instrument capable of resolving any object as small as an asteroid at that distance.
