The mysterious Oort cloud is the source of many of our solar system's comets, but astronomers still have no idea what it looks like. Now, new simulations may have given them a first glimpse.

Any time an article says, "Scientists find strange/weird/shocking thing," I know it's only strange to the author/editor of the article.

If scientists were as ignorant as these article authors, supernatural events would have been "proven" long ago.

Probably not even strange to them, it's just the nature of science journalism these days. If it's not strange and new, it doesn't turn eyes, and therefore there's little incentive to write about it.
