While this is certainly an interesting thing to know, there was no quantitative data provided about the discoveries. While a bunch of rare earth metals wandering around the atmosphere is certainly not a common occurrence, knowing whether we're talking about parts per billion or parts or parts per undecillion is a substantial difference (if Google didn't just lie to me, there are around one quattuordecillion molecules in our atmosphere, probably give or take a couple orders of magnitude).
