Exo-moons

Recently, with the aid of ground-based and space telescopes, scientists found approximately 5,000 exoplanets.

About Exomoons

Exomoons are regarded as those naturally occurring satellites that orbit exoplanets.
Exomoons around any of these planets, though, are still untraceable.
Exo-moon signals are too feeble due to their small sizes.
Origin: The solar system is made up of multiple naturally occurring satellites of various masses and sizes.
A few of these satellites have an impact on the solar planet's surrounding environment.
Because of this, a sizable number of exomoons are anticipated, which may also have a significant impact on the habitability of rocky exoplanets in a star's habitable zone.

Exoplanets

Any planet outside of our solar system—that is, planets that revolve around stars other than the sun—is referred to as an exoplanet.
The majority of exoplanets orbit other stars, while rogue planets—free-floating exoplanets that are unattached to any star—orbit the galactic centre.
There are almost 5,000 exoplanets outside of our solar system.
