Would way prefer people link the original sources in cases like this, where the news articles add almost nothing useful and instead bombard me with advertisements and user-tracking, etc.
The BBC only shows a very zoomed out video though, so you don't actually see the new bit, making it an article about new resolution illustrated at pretty low resolution -_-

You can view all the photos and videos directly on the National Solar Observatory's website: https://www.nso.edu/inouye-solar-telescope-first-light/ (and press release at https://www.nso.edu/press-release/inouye-solar-telescope-fir... )

Indeed, fortunately the original pictures show a scale within the picture for clarity: https://www.nso.edu/telescopes/dkist/first-light-context-ful...
utterly unusable on mobile. at least bbc has that part worked out.

I'm not seeing a video, could you give the URL of the actual media file instead?

True - but why should desktop users get a worse source just because mobile users need a mobile site?
Maybe posts should have the ability to submit different URLs for mobile vs desktop? (I know that idea is problematic in multiple ways).
holy shit, they overdried the default scroll speed.
Brb, i am grabbing a spoon and i'll find the one who ordered this 'feature'..
But seriously - dropping a primary sources would be a neat habit to have in here :)
