8,000 light years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus, the star
designated Kepler 1625 may be harboring a planet with a moon. The
planet, Kepler 1625b, is a gas giant several times the mass of Jupiter.
What David Kipping (Columbia University) and graduate student Alex
Teachey have found is compelling though not definitive evidence of a
moon orbiting the confirmed planet. If we do indeed have a
Whether or not there is an undiscovered planet lurking in the farthest
reaches of the Solar System, the search for unknown dwarf planets and
other objects continues. Extreme Trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs) are of
particular interest. The closest they come to the Sun is well beyond the
orbit of Neptune, with the result that they have little gravitational
interaction with the giant planets. Conside
