Occasionally, I find gems like this that I can't resist (though never before on the NASA/JPL Day in Review site!!!):

''"The newly-discovered Kepler-90i - a sizzling hot, rocky planet that orbits its star once every 14.4 days - was found using machine learning from Google." ''

One wonders how the planet was doing this? With it's sizzling hot  little   rocky fingers? All the way from another solar system? I gathered Google was global, but universal? Wow! And who saw it???

And yes, I know what they meant to say; it just irks me that so many PR people use this kind of short cut.

The absolute gem and most quoted error used to demonstrate the point, is this one (in case you haven't heard of it yet):

''"If the baby fails to thrive on raw milk, boil it." ''
