Kepler space telescope could find exomoons

NASA's Kepler space telescope could be used to find exomoons, which are the moons of planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. That is the claim of an international team of astronomers, which says that careful analysis of data collected by Kepler could reveal if such exoplanets are circled by moons. The results could have major implications for astronomers' understanding of how moons form. It could even provide important information about the probability of there being life elsewhere in the universe.
