Searching for a Dream Article: Astronomy Meets Metaphor

In summary, the speaker recently came across an article about astronomy in Yahoo!, but they cannot remember the exact title and are unable to find it again when they search for it. They mention a phrase about planets splashing like flies on a window and express their frustration in not being able to locate the article. However, the expert provides the link to the article and the speaker is grateful.

A few days ago I guess I got to a new article regarded to astronomy in Yahoo! I don't remember exactly what was the title since I just had a glance at that and didn't have enough time to read it but it seemed to me there was something like "planets splash the satrs(eh?) like flies splash window-shop"!
But now when I search for this article with these key words I just don't find any results which sounds like that article.
OMG! Am I missing something while searching or ...eh was it just a dream?:rolleyes: I want that article so badly!:cry::cry:
