Lol.

Eric Berger is one of the most notable space and launch journalists, if not the one. Whoever is covering space news should at least be aware of that, leave alone not referring to him as a “meteorologist.” Meaning that the Guardian article was drafted by someone who is not exactly well-versed in the domain area.

So, yeah, Ars version would certainly be a better choice here as the source.

He is a meteorologist:

Sure, but that’s not what he is known for.

The fact that Guardian’s person referred to him as one just shows that they lifted the whole thing off Ars, including the most irrelevant bit of Eric’s bio.

That's par for the course in basically all reporting on anything scientific
