    Another one of these “science” articles that go oooooh mysterious, only to directly follow up with a full explanation. I know it’s just to lure people in, but it urks me because it feels like the author didn’t understand what the word mysterious means.

      Keep reading!

      The article is a bit unclear when it dives into an explanation, but that is the old explanation for this phenomenon we’ve known about for decades. Data from a recent NASA mission is calling that explanation into doubt. We thought we knew what they were, but new data reveals we were wrong and now it’s a mystery again!
