The two methods of detecting extrasolar planets, nicknamed «wobble and blink,» involve plotting tiny shifts in a star's motion caused by the gravitational tug of its orbiting planets, and catching the slight dimming in a star's light that occurs whenever a planet passes between the star and an observer's telescope.

Now, Sujan Sengupta at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and Mark Marley at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, suggest that the next class of large telescopes should be able to detect an exomoon by looking at the polarised light of the planet it orbits.

As the sibling sun's distance decreases, the orbits of that system's planets become misaligned, rendering it impossible for the Kepler telescope to detect planets — which no longer cross in the front of the suns.

Ground - based and orbiting telescopes employ exquisitely sensitive detectors to search for objects that are much farther away, and much fainter, than could have been detected just a few years ago.
