In 2014, I wrote a story about a rare exoplanet alignment, an exosyzygy, due to take place in 2026. At the time it seemed impossibly far off, but now here we are - and unfortunately, astronomers haven't been granted time with a telescope to observe this event, so we're going to miss it!

Ditto journalists covering such a story. Do some reporting! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
