"This is the biggest contraction of the thermosphere in at least 43 years." (... scary background music...)

That's the kind of sensational headlines that cracks me up. How long has the thermosphere been monitored or up there for?... 43 years must be reeeeaaallly representative of its normal behavior and what we can expect from it?

... another 'anomaly'! We're all gonna die! Boohooo!....
