It isn’t even an error, though. It’s just wrong. “Earth” should be lowercase. I can understand being pedantic, but pedantic and wrong is super irritating.
The original post is technically correct on the topic of capitalization for “Earth”. When referring to the planet, it is a proper noun, thus capitalized. source
However, that is a pretty egregious use of a colon XD

The complaint isn’t about the colon in OP’s image, it’s the colon in OP’s explanation.
