By analyzing the movements of a mysterious cloud of sodium moving around the planet WASP-49 b, the team was able to construct a compelling argument for the presence of an exomoon. While many ...

NASA scientists have uncovered new evidence of a hellish, volcanic "exomoon" orbiting a superheated alien world relatively ...

New evidence indicating that a massive sodium cloud observed near WASP-49 b is produced by neither the planet nor the star has prompted researchers to ask if its origin could be an exomoon.

We just called it “the Moon,” but other planets have moons too. Recently, the first evidence of an exomoon — that is, a moon orbiting a planet in another star system — was revealed ...

“I would say that the sodium signal is definitely intriguing, given the way it seems to dance around the planet, and that an exomoon is an exciting possibility,” said Jessie ...

This "exomoon" is not like any in our cosmic neighbourhood: it's the size of Neptune and orbits a planet the size of Jupiter - but with 10 times the mass. The object was spotted in data from Nasa ...

We can't see the exomoon, but based on a surprisingly large sodium cloud, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory thinks it's there. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

An exomoon, a companion to an exoplanet, likely would be too tiny and far away for telescopes to resolve. But a new NASA study may have found a clue that one is orbiting a planet some 635 light ...

Kipping and his team have succeeded in getting some JWST observation time to look for an exomoon. Back in February, his proposal was selected. "We have been hoping to find exomoons for a very long ...

Scientists think that they have gathered compelling evidence for the presence of an exomoon—a moon orbiting around a planet ...
