"If we can 'spectroscopically' detect a small amount of protein in a person's teardrops, we may be able to provide a new diagnostic tool for detecting cataracts early on and potentially many other eye diseases."
-
I posit the Moon and Mars shouldn't even be in the running based upon fundamental physics, rather it should be the near Earth asteroids, Phobos and Deimos, and that amazing new and mysterious fifth planet Ceres, or even a medium sized spectroscopically identified nickel iron asteroid (PGMs).

Even detecting a companion spectroscopically would be difficult if not impossible.

If so, why would this photometrically measured redshift be especially relevant compared to the 2006 spectroscopically derived redshift possibly as means to confirm the validity of the Lyman dropout value derived with their new apparatus?
