Apart from the pulsar planets--the first easily seen exo-worlds were "Hot Jupiters" very close to their respective stars--where that hammer-throw wobble was really evident.
So you'd know the first exo-moon detected would have to be a whopper, right?

Now for years, I have had my hopes up that liquid water--and maybe life--might be on a moon like Europa circling a gas giant closer in, say--to a brighter star (maybe 47 Ursae Majoris?)
I always thought that a gas giant larger than Jupiter might have a moon--oh, I don't know--Mars size.
I never got my hopes up that any Earth sized moon could exist.
And here is something the size of...Neptune.
More than I could ever hope for.
Whoof!
