And on a more cosmic note, astronomers have done something that once seemed nearly impossible: confirmed the existence of a moon orbiting a planet outside our solar system. The exomoon sits seventy-three light-years away, and scientists say the discovery is already challenging how we define the relationship between stars, planets, and the worlds that circle them.
