Only because of the way it's written up. Writing an article about instrument failure isn't as appealing to a large audience. Even though there are a lot of people who do find that kind of stuff very interesting.

Maybe the instruments don't want us to see those stars.

I can guarantee they don't want that. They don't want anything at all.
