AM I DUMB? King's Fall challenges and other mysteries. (Destiny)

Okay, don't answer that first question. I'm starting to get frustrated with Destiny's and/or Bungie's lack of communication. I mean, I like the secrets in the story missions. I like figuring things out, and I'm willing to do a certain amount of outside-of-game research in order to understand the game and the best ways to play it.

When it comes to the raid challenges, though, everyone seems to know more than me, like what they are, how long they last, etc. When I try to research them, I get nothing but strategies for how to beat the challenge.

Bungie.net, reddit, or destiny tracker have no info on what challenge is active and for how long. Perhaps I haven't looked hard enough, but that begs the question: how hard should I have to look?

I'm at 305 on the PS4 and 309 on the Xbox, so I don't think I can do the hard challenge this week (i.e., I'm useless or the hard Oryx fight), but other challenges aren't active this week--is that how it works?

Maybe I'm just generally frustrated. I like raiding. It's my favorite Destiny activity, but I'm feeling left behind. A lot of people seem to have gotten to the going-through-the-motions stage. (I'm not there.) On the other hand, FTB events fill up quicker than I can sign up for them these days.

I know part of the solution. Set up events, ask for help, etc., and part of it is my fault. I can't play as late from the east coast. I can't commit to multi-night events as frequently, and that's often what's necessary (on weeknights, anyway). The issue for now is, I don't know where to find out what the parameters of the challenge are. I don't know the target to aim for.
