Using Earth's most powerful array of radio telescopes, astronomers have made the first observations of a circumplanetary disk of gas and dust like the one that is believed to have birthed the moons of Jupiter.
Astronomers reviewing data collected by NASA’s Kepler space telescope have found the first evidence for a possible “exomoon” orbiting a gas giant planet 8,000 light years away.
Researchers have identified 121 giant planets that potentially host moons capable of supporting life.
