Possible extrasolar moon. Computer illustration of a possible moon (small) outside the Solar System (exomoon). Observations using NASA's Hubble and Kepler space telescopes have provided evidence of what could be the first discovery of a moon orbiting a planet outside the Solar System. The moon lies around 8, 000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. It orbits a gas giant planet (large), which in turn orbits the star Kepler-1625 (not shown). | |
