“One of Blighty's top exomoonologists has said that NASA's new "Kepler" space telescope - in addition to its hotly-anticipated ability to discover⟳ habitable planets orbiting other stars - will also be able to detect⟳ habitable moons orbiting the gas giants of far-flung solar systems.”

““We don’t know⟳ for sure whether any of the planets in our sample are truly habitable,” explains David Kipping, astroboffin (and sometime exomoonologist). “All we can say⟳ is that they’re promising candidates.””
