The headline is horrible (haven't read the actual article). As I undrstamd the topic, Uranus radiates more heat than previously measured, but still less than our models suggest it should.

is it some sort of fucking law that headlines have to be dogshit?

Seems so. In the few media I'm slightly more familiar with, the headlines are written by someone else with the aim of drawing in more readers and the authors of the articles themselves have no control over it.
