They are paraphrasing from the original news release, but poorly.
Photons of light from the stars, as opposed to light from other things.
Generally poorly worded, but I can see what they are trying to convey. But they could have done it better.
Space.com really doesn't have good quality articles.
Any headline pumping site, I always go find the original cited article. I trust the researchers who did the thing over someone who has a minor understanding and a good domain name.
Tho, I do like the articles on phys.org. They often seem to have direct quotes from the authors of the research, like they actually spoke to someone. But they are less space focused and more general science news from across the spectrum.
