I loathe lazy grammar.
Rare = "Ultra-Rare"
There is no need to add extra flair to the sentence, as it does not help or inform in any way. The only thing missing was a thumbnail of an astronomer with a `mouth-agape` shocked look on their face.
I don't care about HN Title policy, I do care about sensationalism and poor editing (if it even exists).

This is what it says: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait". If a title is click-bait, it shouldn't be used.) https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
