  The link refers to the page that describes what was planned (2012). The more interesting part is what they found [0] (2016). Though at the level of detail of the pages both appear to describe the same. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/nasa-directly-observes-fundamental-process-of-nature-for-1st-time https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/nasa-directly-obse...

    Here's a link to the 2016 Science article: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaf2939 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aaf2939

  I wish that popular science would not label scientific phenomenon after unrelated science fiction phenomenon to gain public interest. The research is interesting in its own right. I Also wish that popular science websites had an automated mechanism to link follow up articles so that late readers can easily follow the story from its origin to the most current publication -- this can be automated now.
