I've been reading Ars for many years now and I just wanted to say that the clarity this specific article displays in explaining astronomical concepts to a layperson is really impressive and appreciated. Sometimes I get lost in these types of write-ups, but you gave readers the state of the field and why this study - which simply provides evidence that helps likely nix one potential explanation - truly was important in that context. It was all just so digestible and satisfying.

Totally agree. I loved the implication that one simple 7 hour viewing yielded 15500 events to be filtered and that they could observe a binary star system's change in that time frame. To me, that's awesome!
