Where are the exomoons?

The Cool Worlds Lab is trying to find the first exomoon, a moon around a planet outside the Solar System. But, exomoons have been eluding us for a few years now. So why are they so hard to find and what do we know so far? Get up to date with the latest limits and prospects for detection. You can find the latest paper on constraints on exomoons at ::More about this Video:: ► Hunt for Exomoons with Kepler (HEK) Project website: www.exomoon.org ► HEK Project Twitter feed https://twitter.com/hek_project ► Kipping et al.
