22 July 2021, 08:07 pm The first moon-forming disk around an exoplanet has been spotted and measured by astronauts with the help of a telescope array called ALMA.  Myriam Benisty, a researcher at the University of Grenoble, France, and at the University of Chile who led this research into the moon-forming disk said as quoted in a press release posted by the European Science Observatory (ESO), Our work presents a clear detection of a disc in which satellites could be forming. The research on the exoplanet with the moon-forming disk has been published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.  The exoplanet with the moon-forming disk is located outside the solar system. Known as the PDS 70c, the exoplanet is located around 400 light-years away from Earth. One light-year is equivalent to 6 trillion miles.
