It’s a press release. There’s a picture, a video, a link to the original paper, a media contact, and the original article in Japanese.
Reminder: phys.org is a content aggregator. They assemble free-to-republish material (like this press release), extract the text and maybe a picture, and then start serving ads/tracking/whatever other garbage from their own site.
/r/space shouldn’t allow phys.org links IMO. They don’t add any browsing value for readers, and the source pages are better 95+% of the time.
