Moons the size of Neptune?

Possibly! We may have found the first exomoon...and if so, it's orbiting a planet larger than Jupiter and is, itself, the size of Neptune.

The first exomoon being very large is understandable. The first exoplanets we found were huge too. However, current theories don't really give space for moons that large...

...so is it real, is it an artifact, or are we just wrong? I'm hoping for the last, because I love when science is wrong.
