What is the biggest moon in the universe?

 Lets start in our own solar bubble and move outward.

The largest moon in our solar system in orbit around Jupiter.

Moving on and we reach “Kepler-1625b-i”, not just a moon, this is an Exomoon with 19.09 times the mass of Earth.

A Neptune-like moon that orbits a massive monster Gas-giant.

This monster moon is in orbit around planet Kepler-1625b, sitting 1AU from its stat and with 11.6 times the mass of Jupiter, making a monster duo.

The star sits just 0.98AU from the gas giant, a spectral clas G and just a little larger than oir own star.

OK, it is a massive struggle to find a moon around a distant planet within an alien star's planetery system, so there will be a larger example someplace, we just need to improve our visual ability's and other things.

We may not have found our targets yet, but there are other candidates.

Kepler-1625b-i

Kepler-1708b-i

WASP-49b-i

809b-I and many MANY more..
