Are we sure that it’s a moon and not a space station?

Isn’t this just a a Red Dwarf + Brown Dwarf binary system with a 2x Jupiter mass planet in orbit around the brown dwarf?

Our entire astronomical vocabulary was built using a sample size of one. The moment we look deeper into the galaxy, nature keeps proving how arbitrary our neat little definitions actually are

That’s no moon….
Sigh, that’s a planet, orbiting a brown dwarf star, not a moon. I know that definitions of what’s a planet, a sub-stellar object, or a star can get fuzzy, but yeah, that’s a planet.

I named it Ted. Claimed it. That’s what it’s called now.

We’ve discovered how many exo-planets but never a moon?
