"The dust is minus 429 to minus 416 degrees Fahrenheit (about minus 221 to 213 Celsius) -- colder than Pluto, which is about minus 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius). "
This is not the first time they've blown the conversion between F and C. But the last time, they used the usual conversion formula for temperatures, but applied it to a temperature difference. Can you see what they did this time?
Cute. Looks like they converted the positive Fahrenheits and then stuck the word minus in front.
