The figures

Coverage: 184 outlets in 73 countries, across 5 regions. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 184 outlets, 15 state-owned, 13 public-service, 156 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Africa 7: Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tunisia. Americas 14: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, United States, Uruguay, Venezuela. Asia-Pacific 20: Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Uzbekistan, Vietnam. Europe 24: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Middle East 8: Iran, Israel, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, United Arab Emirates. The region a country’s press publishes from, as the feed list files it; the outlets that publish from no single country count as one country under International.

Timeline: Earliest article NRC, 6 Oct 2026, 02:50 UTC. First seen 6 Oct 2026, 06:10 UTC. Last seen 7 Oct 2026, 07:11 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
Classification: Region Europe, Belgium. Topic Science & health. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
Score: 4.77, as of now. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
Chain: Merged from 4 stories Francis Halzen wins Nobel Physics Prize for Antarctic 'ghost particle' hunt; Physics Nobel Prize 2026 winner announcement; Nobel Prize Physics awarded for neutrino discovery; Swedish Academy announces 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics winner. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box. A story merged from several was grouped from stories about the same event; each keeps its own headline and page, and the whole story counts every outlet and country once.
Day by day: Outlets and countries are the story’s whole life as of that midnight; the 24-hour columns are that day’s own coverage; the last column is the methodology version the day was measured under, and a day that spans a change of version shows the first and last, linked to the changelog that lists every version between. A day marked partial is one Loudest read only in part: fewer than 130 of its 144 ten-minute runs, or more than 30 minutes missed at its start or end.
