In just a few days, the Hubble Space Telescope will be observing a star that we have claimed possesses the most compelling exomoon candidate found to date, Kepler-1625b-i. The hope is that Hubble will either confirm or deny the existence of our candidate. Having invested so many years of effort into this hunt, we are faced with a situation well-trodden by many previous scientists - when your personal investment threatens your objectivity. In a somewhat different video to usual, I decided to walk through some of my thoughts on this in the build up to our analysis and how, at least for me, I work to remain as objective as I can.
