FTA “”No one is sure.””

Now THAT is real science! We can be sure of many things, and we will no doubt determine much more. A quote, attributed in various forms to several wise people: The Beginning of Wisdom is the Ability to State :I don’t know.’

Dedicated amateurs using commercial telescopes made this discovery because, in part, professional telescopes usually investigate angularly small patches of the night sky, whereas these arcs span several times the angular size of the full moon

They need to make a public excuse as to why amateurs discovered this first?

It seems the professionals with "professional telescopes" couldn't see the forest from the trees.

And I'm still not sure what a professional telescope is.
