Kappa Andromedae b is a substellar object and massive planet/brown dwarf orbiting Kappa Andromedae a star in the Andromeda constellation about 170 light years away. The object nearly 13 times the mass of Jupiter was directly photographed by the Subaru Telescope. There has been considerable debate as to whether Kappa Andromedae b is an exoplanet or a brown dwarf; and until the question can be clarified scientists have dubbed it the Super-Jupiter object.
