YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Earlier this year we found our most compelling exomoon candidate to date, Kepler-1625b-i. Although the signal of what would be the first exomoon looked pretty good, we remain skeptical about the reality of the object given that we only saw three transits during the entire four years of Kepler. You might recall we applied for some Hubble Space Telescope time, which we have been busy analyzing for the last couple of months. Here's a quick update on our progress!
