Describe the change
Should the concept be renamed? Why?

--> The concept "Natural satellites (Extrasolar)" should be renamed to "Exomoon" as the definition of this concept is "A natural satellite orbiting an extrasolar planet." which is commonly referred to as an exomoon not a natural satellite in the literature.

--> Less critical: perhaps consider changing the definition to "A natural satellite orbiting an extrasolar planet or planetary-mass object." rather than "A natural satellite orbiting an extrasolar planet." to include free floating planets as possible exomoon hosts.
