Over 2011 and early 2012, I have been keeping track of peculiarly worded astronomy articles, some of which are oxymorons, puns, and other funnily-worded phrases. [Below, for reference, is the article title, the publishing date, and the website on which it was taken | Dates are most current, first]. All of these have a corresponding article, they are not imagined - the authors did have a great imagination!
[Articles will keep on being added if they fit the bill!]
