For only the second time, researchers have found what appears to be a moon orbiting a planet in another solar system. Just like the first time, this one has qualities that suggest such moons may differ greatly from those in our solar system.
Data captured by NASA's Kepler space telescope before it was retired in 2018 suggested the presence of a moon 2.6 times the diameter of Earth. This possible moon was orbiting a Jupiter-sized gas planet about 5,700 light-years away from our solar system, scientists said recently.

Though we don't yet have a complete picture of planetary formation – especially for types of planets we don't find in the Solar System – we do have a good idea of the overall process. It starts with a cloud of gas and dust somewhere in space.
