The latest possible moon was detected because of greater dips in the amount of starlight as the planet passes in front of its star. David Kipping at Columbia University and his team saw these additional dips, feasibly caused by a moon, over three of the planet's orbits around its sun-sized star, Kepler-1625. That gave enough data for the team to say there's only a roughly 1 in 16,000 likelihood of seeing such a signal by chance
