In 1995, the first exoplanet was discovered. This marked a significant milestone in the field of astronomy as it provided evidence that planets exist outside our solar system. The discovery was made by astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, who detected a planet orbiting a sun-like star using the radial velocity method. This breakthrough opened up new possibilities for studying and understanding the vastness of the universe and the potential for finding habitable planets beyond our own.

10. How many moons are there?

Explanation

The correct answer is 181 (WITH Dwarf Planets) and 173 (WITHOUT Dwarf Plants). This suggests that when considering the presence of dwarf planets, there are a total of 181 moons. However, if we exclude the dwarf planets from the count, there are 173 moons. This implies that the inclusion or exclusion of dwarf planets affects the total number of moons.
