The Elusive Existence of Alien Moons and Gas Moons in Space

Recent research suggests that the previously detected hints of alien moons in the Milky Way may not actually exist. The evidence for two distant moons orbiting exoplanets outside the Solar System is now believed to fit better with other explanations. However, the techniques used to rule out the presence of these moons can be used in future observations to find exomoons. While finding exomoons is challenging due to their small size and proximity to their host exoplanets, the discovery of even one exomoon would be significant and provide exciting opportunities for exploration.
