    • Of course we can't detect exomoons now (or for a long while), but could planets like 51 Peg b have any moons? Wouldn't the star strip them off? I don't suppose there can be a moon around a planet that orbits in more time than it takes that planet to orbit its star.2001 July 14, Robert Casey, “Moons around "hot Jupiter" exoplanets, possible?”, in sci.astro.research (Usenet), retrieved 20 Mar 2019, message-ID <mt2.0-23734-995099843@star.bris.ac.uk>
