In related news, a federation of aliens filed a lawsuit against humanity today. It includes an injunction for any human being, and especially astrophysicists, to perform any measurements on the state of the universe, including looking at the sky. The aliens are seeking compensation for years lost by our careless curiosity.
Said an alien spokesman, "It seems that our previous judgement of humanity being mostly harmless has been incorrect. We will install cameras everywhere on the entire planet to make sure that these humans are not causing any more damage."
