Does Distant Planet Host Volcanic Moon Like Jupiter’s Io?
The existence of a moon located outside our solar system has never been confirmed but a new NASA-led study may provide indirect evidence for one. New research done at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory reveals potential signs of a rocky, volcanic moon orbiting an exoplanet 635 light-years from Earth.

420 Years Ago: Astronomer Johannes Kepler Observes a Supernova
In October 1604, a new star appeared in the sky, puzzling astronomers of the day. First observed on Oct. 9, German astronomer Johannes Kepler 1571-1630 began his observations on Oct. 17 and tracked the new star for over a year. During that time, it brightened to magnitude -2.5, outshining Jupiter, and for several weeks remained 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/histo...#nasa #space #news #nasa_blogs #nasa_ames_research_center #nasa_astronauts #nasa_general #nasa_johnson_space_center #nasa_people_of_johnson #nasa_nasa_history #nasa_new_horizons #nasa_planetary_science #nasa_planets #nasa_the_solar_system #nasa_uranus #nasa_artemis_1 #nasa_artemis #nasa_earth 's_moon #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_orion_program #nasa_radiation #nasa_jupiter #nasa_missions #nasa_technology #nasa_for_educators #nasa_science_activation
