ron证实了我的观点:in other words, if you introduce that sort of construction, there are now 2 ways to interpret the sentence: (1) the intended interpretation: the modifier, which is set off by commas, is to be neglected in the interpretation of the sentence, and "circling" is to be taken as if it followed "planets" immediately, without a comma (because that's the way it would be if the modifier were removed - neither of the commas would be there anymore).
