Quick Answer
An exomoon is a moon that orbits a planet outside our Solar System. It is the extraterrestrial equivalent of Earth’s Moon.
The Full Story
An exomoon is a natural satellite orbiting an exoplanet, which is a planet around another star. Scientists have strong candidates for exomoons, but as of now there is no universally confirmed exomoon detection accepted by the entire astronomy community. Detecting them is difficult because their signals are tiny and often hidden within the data used to study the planet. If confirmed, exomoons could become important targets in the search for potentially habitable worlds.
