Possible first exomoon detected orbiting a brown dwarf
UNB reports a possible first exomoon; a separate post says ESO's Very Large Telescope found evidence for a Jupiter-mass candidate.
TLDR
UNB reports that astronomers may have found the first exomoon beyond the Solar System: a massive companion orbiting a brown dwarf. A separate post says observations with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope point to a Jupiter-mass candidate; the brown dwarf itself orbits a star. The candidate awaits confirmation, and its size raises the question of whether it is a moon or a planet.
