Desk note: Monexus framed this as a survey-engineering story, not a single-instrument triumph piece. The wire coverage tends to telescope in on the most photogenic target, a star being torn apart, and telescope out the ground-based follow-up network, the competing facilities, and the cadence assumptions on which the science case rests. The piece above holds the science in plain editorial prose and treats the infrastructure as part of the story.
