WOT: Astronomers orbiting 440 light years away?

[scirocco16vr32 at gmail.com (Chris Bennett)]

Ok not really.

But if you read the quote below...

"The gas giant, estimated to be eight times the mass of Jupiter, was found
by a team of astronomers orbiting a beast of a star located about 440 light
years away in the constellation Hercules."

I guess it's missing a comma somewhere maybe before "orbiting".  You have to
reread it a couple of times before it makes sense.  When I first read it I
was thinking it was a science fiction spoof or something.  Or if it wasn't
at the very least the writer shoulda revealed what it was he was smoking.

Full story below if any gives a crap.  I thought it was mildly humourous
either way.
