First — as I suspect the scientists — aktolun were the focus of the lens. Observations of the space telescope. Hubble confidently speak in favor of the moon the size of Neptune orbiting exoplanets gas 8,000 light years from us. About astronomers reported in the Washington post on 3 October. If the existence of the moon is confirmed, the question will be theory about the appearance of satellites.
Astronomers David Kipping and Alex Tichy from the University of Columbia egg “Hubble” on the star Kepler 1625 40 hours on 28 and 29 October 2017. It is known that near this star has a planet the size of Jupiter which completes an orbit every 287 days. This is demonstrated by the observation of a telescope “Kepler” — he noticed the dimming light of the stars that showed that the planet passes in front of its star.
The first exoplanet in the history of observations
Tichy and Kipping saw in the data, “Kepler” signs of the second blackout, which was before or after the passage of the planet — this would be expected if near the planet was azoluna. Scientists gave the name Kepler actiune 1625 b i, or “neptulon” that was short. And yet, scientists need more observations to confirm that the moon really is, and that is no other planet or star activity.
The Hubble is sensitive which is 3.8 times more “Kepler”, I noticed a secondary light incidence after the planet crossed the star. The planet also began its 19-hour transit at 77, 8 minutes earlier than expected, suggesting that the planet something has a gravitational effect.
Both speak in favor of the existence of neptulon. “We are not yet opening the champagne bottles,” said tichi on October 1 at a press conference. Scientists want to double-check the data, presumably by may 2019.

It seems that the Hubble found the first aktolun
