Why do think that exomoons play such an important role in understanding our universe?
I think that there’s a couple of reasons why we’re so interested in exomoons. First of all, I think that they could really tell us a lot about the formation of our Solar System and the formation of other solar systems. Certainly they tell us about the system we see them in, but the question always arises about life evolving on Earth. Were these circumstances on Earth ver y common across the galax y, or were they ver y special? I think that it’s very much an open question.
