When Jean-Pierre Macquart arrived home from work one night in 2019, he was buzzing with excitement. He'd just helped solve a decades-old cosmic mystery with the help of a team of international astronomers. He couldn't wait to tell his wife.

The critical information missing from this article is whether his children's ages were two and four during that night in 2019, or that's their ages today.

Seriously, I hate "science" articles like this that try to be more about people than their discoveries. I immediately become skeptical that the writer even understands the subject.
