NASA Video Sparks Fears We May Have Encountered The Borg

Yes... this was actually a recent article. First paragraph:

The recent NASA DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) Mission to collide a spacecraft with an asteroid was a complete success, especially as they meant to do that, on purpose. However, a video of the NASA mission in action has prompted some online speculation that our species may have encountered the Borg from Star Trek, which is not good news for our biological and cultural distinctiveness. As you can see above, if you look closely at the asteroid Dimorphos (technically a satellite of the larger asteroid Didymos), you can see a distinctly straight edge near its bottom, which makes people worried about space cyborgs.
