An example of metaphor in science journalism:
"Regardless of what these planets are like, their existence in resonant orbits alone is notable. Theory suggests that the planets formed in these resonances. Ordinarily these resonances are then destroyed by gravitational perturbations from passing stars or marauding giant planets, but around [star] HD 110067 this doesn't seem to have happened."
