NASA exists to make technology, scientific research and space travel for private US companies even better. Sometimes this means that they have to not tell people about some of their findings so that the right experts from universities can research their findings and release more science ideas. This process is called peer review, and when you don’t do it, the news can make scientific findings sound different than they actually are, which confuses people.

In short, NASA finds facts and sometimes those facts need to be verified and have theories attached before they’re released so research can be better targeted.
