Yup, ya got me!
I think it's because we all have a fascination with astronomy, but a lot of people really know nothing about it. I teach college astronomy, and it never ceases to amaze me the misconceptions people have, even as "educated" adults! Do a search on astronomy misconceptions - it can be quite sobering!

I have no good idea. The best that I can come up with is that they don't know enough about astronomy to separate the good stuff from the crud.

My uncle has a Ph.D. and my aunt has a M.A., and both of them fell for it. Some people just don't have common sense (or a science background).

What really puzzles me is why I see thumbs-down to responses that unambiguously explain that it is a hoax.
That's the real mystery.
