I agree with your opinion of makuakane04's comment, it made me chuckle! The article also leads with a picture of UKIRT which wasn't involved in the discovery. Oh well - there is some stuff upcoming that does actually involve UKIRT.
In the meantime, the results of The Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey (Astro2020) are about to be published (https://www.nationalacademies.org/our-wo...-astro2020). The future of the TMT and Mauna Kea astronomy hinge on the report. Don't be surprised if protesters are back on the mountain soon.
