which of these is 'operating in a cloak of darkness':

- NASA informs the public immediately, and then makes the details available later after they've had time to compile the news and information into a format useful for the public

- NASA waits to inform the public until said report is finished

or perhaps you're after option c:

- NASA's network drives are open to the www in read-only mode, because, you know, 'open by default' entails realtime information (even though he doesn't actually care 99.9999% of the time. yet, someone should deliver this functionality, without it costing the taxpayer extra).

NASA routinely makes a LOT of data open to the public. Like, you can get very detailed JWST data directly from NASA. Probably far more detailed than you'd ever care to, because NASA does care about exactly your concern.

Actually, many agencies publish very detailed data if you care to look.

"This is light on info but they're making a report later." would be a non-darkness answer.

But do you have reason to believe they're working on a detailed public report?

Because if they're not, then you missed option "NASA informs the public immediately, but never makes the details available" which would be unfortunate.

Also they probably already answered a lot of these questions internally during the last week, so it wouldn't hurt to put some of that information out.
