Extrasolar moon

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Exomoon)

An extrasolar moon, or exomoon, is a moon, or natural satellite, of an exoplanet.

Exomoons are difficult to find and confirm.[1] Observations from missions like Kepler have found some things that might be exomoons, one of them include Kepler-1625b I.
