Astronomers discovery

Astronomers discover signal from first 'exomoon' :

It looks like a team  of astronomers  has potentially discovered the first known moon  beyond the Solar System.

 If genuine, the "exomoon"  is likely to be about the size and mass of Neptune, and circles a planet the size of Jupiter but with 10 times the mass‼️

The signal  was detected by Nasa's Kepler Space Telescope .

 Now, astronomers  plan to carry out follow-up observations with Hubble in October.

Dr David Kipping, assistant professor of astronomy  at Columbia University in New York, says he has spent "most of his adult life" looking for exomoons .

 For the time being, however, he urged caution, saying: "We would merely describe it at this point as something consistent with a moon, but, who knows, it could be something else."
