Reply to comment by Clementinesm in Space Rock Strike on Webb Telescope Was Just Bad Luck, NASA Team Says | The analysis quells fears that the telescope will suffer frequent micrometeoroid hits. by chrisdh79

Oh good. I hate these articles. They could have also wrote JWST performing above expectstions despite early bad luck with micrometeroids but who clicks on that... well I do but I'm a nerd.

Honestly that would’ve been a much better headline. I wish “science journalists” would be more educated and involved in sciences. It annoys me how much they write for clicks.

It's all for clicks. Phys.org is a great news site. Obviously geared towards physics news but they have a big astronomy and space exploration section with some great writers that usually have STEM education. And they also cover all the sciences, you have a chemistry section, bio etc... but focus on physics. So a great place to get your JWST and CERNor LIGO news without clickbait. And they do magical stuff like publish corrections for articles if something was wrong.
