I've got a different problem with that : who on Earth decided that is it a good idea to use the gram to express exoplanetary loss of mass ?

We're talking about a planet that is light-years away, losing copious amounts of mass, and you deliberately choose the smallest unit of mass we have to express it ?

Saying ten thousand tons of mass per second wasn't impressive enough ?
