However, such moons do not usually form around planets, they would likely have to be captured from afar; e.g., a protoplanet running astray.

I suggest this line be removed from extrasolar planet articles. I've so far seen it here and the article about HD 69830 d. The same person must have put it on different articles about jovian planets in the habitable zone. The claim conflicts with everything I know about planetary science. All of the spherical moons of the solar system, with the exception of Triton, are thought to have formed alongside their host planets in a circum-lunar disk. 146.168.31.85 (talk) 09:55, 15 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
