A Volcanic Moon Might Orbit a Planet
A Distant Planet May Host a Moon That’s Spewing a Volcanic Cloud
Astronomers have yet to confirm the existence of exomoons, but a molecular signal around a far away star offers some of the best evidence yet.
Distant planet may host volcanic moon like Jupiter's Io
New research done at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory reveals potential signs of a rocky, volcanic moon orbiting an exoplanet 635 light-years from Earth. The biggest clue is a sodium cloud that the findings suggest is close to but slightly out of sync with the exoplanet,
A Volcanic Moon Might Orbit a Planet 635 Light-Years Away: NASA
We can't see the exomoon, but based on a surprisingly large sodium cloud, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory thinks it's there.
Suspected First Moon Found Beyond The Solar System Is Probably Sodium-Spewing Volcanic World
The possibility of an Io-like moon around the exoplanet WASP-49b looks increasingly likely to be right, new research shows. The possible object is suspected of being peppered with volcanoes, creating a cloud of sodium that surrounds its planet.
