Exomoons and Inside Mars

from Walkabout the Galaxy

They have to be out there, and now we have a first direct glimpse of what is likely to be the birthplace of an exomoon - a moon forming in a disk around a planet orbiting another star.

Get this news, space news, trivia linking sci-fi and planetary-sci, and much more.
