But while astronomers have searched for exomoons orbiting exoplanets around single stars like our sun, could exomoons exist around exoplanets orbiting binary stars? This is what a recent study ...

So exomoons could well be some of the most important ... Dr Kipping's team have identified exoplanet Kepler 1625b as a potential candidate for hosting an exomoon, but they have not yet been ...

At just 366 light-years away from Earth, this young star has often served as a laboratory to test ideas about exoplanets (and even exomoons). With the right equipment, it is possible to block the ...

For centuries, planets beyond our solar system—called exoplanets—existed only in theory and science fiction. It seemed nearly impossible to detect planets light-years away, since the ...

An exoplanet is a planet from a different star system. Most known exoplanets orbit stars within the Milky Way, but with the help of powerful space telescopes, scientists have discovered exoplanets ...

and the Sonnenberg Observatory have cast significant doubt on the existence of giant exomoons orbiting the distant exoplanets Kepler-1625b and Kepler-1708b. This revelation comes after meticulous ...

To date, astronomers have discovered more than 3,000 exoplanets - worlds orbiting stars other than the Sun. A hunt for exomoons - objects in orbit around those distant planets - has proceeded in ...

Planets outside our solar system can be wild, weird places. Astronomers have discovered exoplanets shaped like a rugby ball, or where it rains gems, or which have one hemisphere covered in lava. And ...

The third-year targets for the JWST include potential exomoons, exoplanets, supermassive black holes, and distant galaxies from the early universe, among others. Several projects aim to determine ...
