 THE FIRST EXOMOON
 Oct 3 | Scientists may have discovered the
 first-ever exomoon.
Scientists may have discovered the first moon orbiting another planet outside our solar system, known as an “exomoon.” Alex Teachey and David M. Kipping from Columbia University published their findings today in the journal “Science Advances.” Teachey and Kipping spotted what they believe to be the exomoon using NASA’s Kepler space telescope, while also utilizing 40 hours of observations from the Hubble Space Telescope. ___ The moon appears to be about the size of Neptune, and seems to orbit a gas planet the size of Jupiter, named Kepler-1625b. Kepler-1625b is about 8,000 light-years away from Earth. ___ Teachey and Kipping first hypothesized this theory in a 2017 study, but now have additional information from the 40 hours of observation from the Hubble Space Telescope. ___ David Kipping told reporters: - &#34;We&#39;ve tried our best to rule out other possibilities such as spacecraft anomalies, other planets in the system or stellar activity, but we&#39;re unable to find any other single hypothesis which can explain all of the data we have.” __ Photo: ** An artist’s impression of the exoplanet Kepler-1625b with the exomoon and transiting star in orbit*** by Dan Durda
