A team of U.S. and U.K. researchers has outlined a new way to detectalien moons by tracking subtle flashes of reflected light during lunar eclipses in distant planetary systems. The method, designed ...

Computer simulations suggest NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory could detect Earth-like exomoons around gas giant exoplanets through reflected starlight and lunar eclipses.

Zurich — The ability to explore remote worlds in space has been enhanced through a polarization technique that allows the first ever detection of light reflected by extrasolar (exoplanet) planets. The ...
