Astronomers may have found the first moon outside our solar system.

Using ESO’s Very Large Telescope, a team spotted a tiny wobble in a brown dwarf orbiting the star CD-35 2722. The cause looks like a companion at least as massive as Jupiter, circling the brown dwarf the way a moon circles a planet. It isn’t confirmed yet, but the researchers call it strong evidence.
