Astronomers spot moon-like object orbiting a brown dwarf — a possible first exomoon

Astronomers have discovered a moon-like object orbiting a brown dwarf that itself orbits a star, raising the possibility that it could be the first confirmed exomoon. However, the finding complicates the question rather than settling it, since the classification hinges on whether the brown dwarf qualifies as a planet. The matter remains under scientific debate.
