Hello Machinbird:

The first reference I find to that image is from 16 hours ago:
https://twitter.com/search?q=%23TiangongAlert&src=hash

It was posted by user "Fake Astropix".
He describes himself as:
Fake, misidentified & uncredited astro images! We follow cool astro types! Favourited is not endorsed! Moon landing hoax denialists & unpaid NASA shills.

If true, I guess it just loved to fly, and shows that you can't always trust official sources.
