S Ori 70 or S Ori J053810.1-023626 is a mid-T type astronomical object in the foreground of the Sigma Orionis cluster which is approximately 1150 light-years from Earth. It was discovered on November 24 2002 by M. R. Zapatero Osorio and E. L. Martin’s team at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory. It has yet to be determined if it is a field brown dwarf or a 3-million-year-old planet that is part of a cluster.
