Ridiculous this isn't more prominent in mainstream news. Eg. I open Google News to stories of killers and a new real estate tax and some sort of scandal by an actor. This is why I come to HN instead.

NBC: Not so apparent but there https://imgur.com/7itvGeh

NYT: Also not obvious https://imgur.com/4DMDqr0

NPR: Gotta scroll: https://imgur.com/dp5UDCq

I found it on Fox News by search and it's a fair scroll down. I also found in MSNBC by search, but actually don't know where it is just that the word "moon" exists somewhere on that page and for the life of me I cannot see what word is highlighted.

It's been the #1 headline story on the NYT for a couple of hours at least now. They had the live feed on the homepage too.

It’s the fourth story on the Washington Post website right now.

And it looks like it crashed… not the website.

It's a major (red background!) story with live coverage on The Guardian site here in Australia.

Google News is absolute garbage these days. Their algorithmic curation has not kept up with SEO and still treats popularity as a proxy for significance.

I wonder if they could have built a better algorithm if they had kept Google Reader around.

It's the top story for me on Google News right now (after the landing).

It was on NPR today if that makes you feel better
