Unlike all previously discovered extra-solar planets, which have highly elliptical orbits, these two were moving in nearly circular paths. Alas, even the best telescopes are not sensitive enough to detect any extra-solar moons...
...craft has a 247-foot wingspan and solar panels that power the 14 propellers that keep it aloft, and Tuesday it traveled higher (96,500 feet) than any other non-rocket-powered plane. The possible uses are twofold. NASA hopes that this test will help it to design aircraft that can fly in the thin Martian atmosphere. And some entrepreneurial sorts think that eventually a network of these high-flying birds could serve as low-cost alternatives to communications satellites...
