Examples from today: * A glacier losing stability in a warming world * A rapidly moving interstellar object giving off light from the side facing the sun * A trail camera capturing a light source (probably other trail cameras) * Brighter-than-expected objects in the early universe etc.
How very baffling. A related headline word is "quietly," when you want to imply there's a conspiracy afoot, but really something simply got updated without an accompanying press release, marching band, and jet flyover. Drives me nuts.
That just sounds like some news outlet got butthurt that something of some small note happened and nobody alerted them.
