Kordelewski dust clouds are located at the Lagrange points of Earth and Moon. They were first theorized in 1961 and can be considered satellites of the Earth-Moon system.
Kordylewski dust clouds, named after Polish astronomer Kazimierz Kordylewski, do exist at the L4 and L5 Lagrange points of the Earth-Moon system. They were first reported in 1961, and their existence was confirmed in 2018. They are considered as potential satellites of the Earth-Moon system, though their classification as 'satellites' is not conventional due to their nature as dust clouds. The claims are generally accurate but somewhat nuanced.
Individual Claims

True
astronomy
Kordelewski dust clouds are located at the Lagrange points of Earth and Moon.
The Kordylewski dust clouds are indeed located at the L4 and L5 Lagrange points of the Earth-Moon system. This claim is supported by multiple sources and recent confirmations from astronomers.

True
astronomy
Dust clouds at Lagrange points were first theorized in 1961.
The dust clouds at Lagrange points were first reported by Kazimierz Kordylewski in 1961, confirming the claim is historically accurate.

Kordelewski dust clouds can be considered as satellites of the Earth-Moon system.
The classification of the Kordylewski dust clouds as 'satellites' is debatable. While they orbit at the Lagrange points, their nature as dust clouds differs from conventional satellites. However, they are sometimes referred to as 'pseudo-satellites'.
