SPACE SCIENTISTS have discovered evidence of the first exomoon – a moon orbiting a planet outside of our solar system. Astronomers say the mysterious space object belongs to the exoplanet Kepler-1625b ...

While analyzing data from NASA’s Hubble and Kepler Space Telescopes, astronomers happen upon new exoplanets all the time. But the same can’t be said about exomoons, which are essentially moons ...

The discovery of the first potential exomoon has astronomers scratching their heads. It’s the size of Neptune, and its planet is the same size as Jupiter but ten times the mass. It’s also made of gas.

Astronomers have confirmed thousands of exoplanets across the galaxy, but not a single exomoon has been definitively verified ...

Western University astronomers may have spotted six new moons orbiting planets in solar systems far from our own – an otherworldly discovery so rare it must wait on future technologies to confirm.

Some of the same researchers who found the first purported exomoon now say that they’ve found another. Dubbed Kepler 1708 b i, the satellite has a radius about 2.6 times that of Earth, and circles a ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

In October of last year, astronomers spotted evidence of a potential exomoon orbiting a Jupiter-like planet about 4,000 light-years away from Earth. The discovery was the first of its kind: No other ...

Tabby’s Star is one of the weirdest stars ever found. It flickers and fades over a few days, before flaring back up to its usual brightness in a completely unpredictable pattern. Now astronomers from ...

And then there were two—maybe. Astronomers say they have found a second plausible candidate for a moon beyond our solar system, an exomoon, orbiting a world nearly 6,000 light-years from Earth. Called ...

A team of astronomers believe they have spotted the first moon outside our solar system. Phys.org reports that the team lead by Dr. David Kipping, assistant professor of astronomy at Columbia ...
