We Discovered a New Exomoon Candidate!!

Exciting new result from the Cool Worlds Lab! Several years ago we started an ambitious research program to survey the sample of transiting cool, giant planets for exomoons. Our search is the first of its kind and provides one particularly interesting result - a new exomoon candidate, Kepler-1708 b-i. Today we discuss how we found this object and what it means.
