The search for life beyond our solar system tends to focus on finding familiar ground — a rocky, Earth-like world that sits in its star’s habitable sweet spot, where water is liquid and life could thrive.
But as the hunt for habitable worlds has gotten closer to successfully detecting planets that are the right size and distance from their stars to meet that criteria, some scientists have begun looking elsewhere: to those planet’s moons.

Gee... let's hope a home for moonbats is found nigh on to soon.... maybe we can even persuade Barry the O to send his best Chicago political hack bud, Deeval De Corner Office Occupier, to one of the new moons as a liaison to show the moon's current residents how to run new choochoos from Patrickburg to the Biggest Apple on the lunasurface. . . And of course, with Harvard invovled, all will be just marvey scarvey. . .
