Ejected!

 




From Eric's exploration log...

"Moonlet JC3475032 is an asteroid orbiting exoplanet HSC09342. Both are called 'rogue' bodies since they are not orbiting a star as part of a solar system.

Maybe the exoplanet was tossed out of its solar system when a bigger planet's gravity messed up it's orbit.

I wonder if its little moonlet came along, or was it picked up later? Either way, it's good to have a friend."

In the photo above, Eric is enjoying the sunrise from a nearby star, just one of millions in this globular cluster.
