Nope. The astronomers aren't hiding something, like the secret of the blue laundry balls. They are gagged by the usual agreement with the science magazine Nature, which requires that they don't talk about the article until AFTER it's published. Science mags aren't like People or Time. They take publication seriously. Scientists anyway tend to squirm when they have to answer the questions of liberal arts grads. who aren't exactly masters of physics. Even if once speaks slowly and distinctly, you'd get a silly musunderstanding 9 outta ten times.
