I don't understand why there's so many starving astronomy PhD's and yet HN prefers to read astronomy blogposts written by amateurs asking ChatGPT5 what the astronomers think. Can't HN just link to competent peoples' writing instead?
Because the astronomy PhDs would know these transients on sky surveys are entirely normal, and how we spot asteroids etc. And that our solar system has trillions of little chunks of water floating around it. "This is normal" makes for boring reading.
