I still don't understand why those two are different.

I think it's pretty obviously implied that the aliens we're discussing have some kind of equivalent intellectual construct that mirrors our "constellations".

And part of that science might be going to Mars, which could very well be FAR easier from the Moon.

Ok, this is off-topic, but...
>instruments that, together, provide a broad swath of the infrared spectrum and a panoply of chemical fingerprints inaccessible until [this mission],” said Natalie Batalha...
Does anyone know why is "this mission" in brackets? Don't they usually bracket/parenthesize parts of quotes when the person being quoted didn't actually say those words? What did Batalha actually say and what possible reason could they have for paraphrasing it? I see this a lot in NASA-related articles and I'm wondering if there's something I don't know.
