In September, NASA officially confirmed the existence of a whopping 6,000 exoplanets—a feat so impressive that it’s bizarre to think that, by contrast, the number of confirmed exomoons tallies up to, well, zero. But that imbalance may shift soon if a new proposal by astronomers ends up being as effective as they claim.

Fire up the Enterprise and head out at whatever warp factor gets us there!

Yep, and the more they discover the more the chance of "we are alone" drop. But the distances involved make "contact" almost impossible. And it turns out that Planets come in many different and distinct flavors...so the eight we were using as the standard...well, they aren't. So maybe even Solar Systems develop their own way...and not just one way. Loved it. I am over the moon. LOL
