Where/how do you search for news?
As in the title. I mean, sometimes I know something should/could have happened by now, and I just want to find a coverage of it. Like last weekend, when the Soviet failed Venus probe was about to crash back on Earth.
I find it hard to search through the results of most search engines. I get tired of MSN handles and unreliable websites.
I have been satisfied with duckduckgo lately
I default on local news, but if an issue is important enough, I read or watch all the news and then think it all over. Due process is key, and news is no different.
The reason the Soviet Venus probe reentry hasn't received much coverage is that it landed in the ocean and didn't hit anything important.
Spaceflight historian Jonathan McDowell posted about it, but that's about the extent of the coverage I've seen: https://bsky.app/profile/planet4589.bsky.social
My own plot of the final orbit, showing the Roskosmos estimate of the path between reentry and impact in purple. I guess that Kosmos-482 SA reentered somewhere along this track between India and the ocean south of Australia.
TL;DR: "Spacecraft could crash anywhere on Earth!" makes for a clickable headline, "Spacecraft crashes harmlessly into the ocean", does not.
