Qianjiadong Reservoir in southern Hunan, China, produces a double harvest: solar energy and yellow carp. The solar farm produces up to 80 megawatts of power while the fish forage beneath the panels. With a massive scale-up of solar and wind at home and cheap exports of the technology, China is driving a worldwide surge of renewable energy—Science’s 2025 Breakthrough of the Year.

I can't comment on the policies of the editorial side of the magazine, they're separate from news, but I can reassure you that the photo editors and production team in news are very professional. Slip ups like this are extremely rare.

I suspect that they would argue that if you're building the world's best telescope you should put it on the world's best site to get the most out of it. Putting it at a lower altitude instantly reduces its capability, to a certain degree. But, as you say, they just need to get it built now.
