Not directly. An object that orbits a star is not a moon. If it is large enough and has cleared its orbit of debris, an object orbiting a star is considered a planet. Other objects orbiting stars include dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets. The planets and dwarf planets can have moons.

∙ 13y agoAlthough the gravitational pull near a black hole is so great that not even light can escape, the gravitational force scales with distance, so it is entirely possible that black holes have natural celestial bodies orbiting them. Please refer to the related link below.

∙ 10y agoNo - Since all matter in the galaxy revolves about the black hole, there is no individual satellite (or moon) for which the black hole is primary.
Note: A natural satellite, or moon, is a celestial body that orbits a planet or smaller body, which is called its primary.

How many moons does Sirius have?
Sirius is a star (actually, a binary star), so none, as stars do not have moons. Either or both of the stars that comprise Sirius could theoretically have planets which have moons, but if so, we don't know about them yet.
Does the sun have any moons or rings?
A moon by definition has to orbit a planet - and the Sun is a star, not a planet. Also it has no rings.

Does chiron have any moons?
Chiron, the moon of Pluto is not know to have any moons
Is a planet with many moons an inner or outer planet?
In our own solar system, the only planets with many moons are outer planets. It seems likely that if there were a large planet close to a companion star, the star's gravity would strip away any orbiting moons. However, we have no way of detecting the moons of any extrasoloar planets.
How many planets and moons are in the Star Wars galaxy?
There are billions of planets and moons in the Star Wars galaxy.
How many moons are around a neutron star?
There are no moons around a neutron star. A large, spherical body orbiting a neutron star would be considered a planet.
Which solar system has 62 moons?
There is only one Solar System; it is the star system with the star named Sol (our solar system). It is technically incorrect to refer to any other star system as 'a solar system.' Our star system is is also the only star system we know intimately enough (in fine enough detail) to know to have moons. It is not currently possible for us to detect moons orbiting extrasolar planets (planets orbiting other stars). There are 336 objects classified as moons in the Solar System.
How many moons does rigel have?
At over 772 light years away, it is difficult to say if this Star has any planets, yet alone if there are any moons of those planets. Theres a chance, but we may never know the answer.

Does mercruy have any moons?

How many moons does tres 4 the planet have?
TrES-4 is actually a star. It appears to have at least one planet. I don't think we have the technology yet to detect any moons around the planet.
Does belguese have any moons?
A star can have planets, those planets can have moons: that's the heirarchy. Actually Betelgeuse is a red giant, which means that any planets it might have had are likely to have been swallowed up as the star expanded, which is what will happen to the Earth when the Sun swells up. But it won't happen for the next few billion years.
Are the moons on mercury key moons?
Mercury does not have any moons.
