No joke: The flag was found on a new small satellite that revolves around Uranus. NASA announced on Tuesday The James Web telescope found another moon floating around Uranus, a giant of the ice that already had 13 other known moons.
This discovery was discovered thanks to the images taken by the James Web telescope. A team from the South West Research Institute noticed an unfamiliar being who appears to be around Uranus. The pictures were stitched together in Show slides on YouTube From the moon, which rotates closer to Uranus than the 13 well -known moons of the planet.
“This object has been monitored in a series of 10 pictures that were displayed for 40 minutes taken by the camera near the infrared,” said Maryam Motamide, the main capital. “It is a small moon, but an important discovery, which is something even the Voyager 2 vehicle from NASA has not seen it during its fly for nearly 40 years.”
In terms of size, this moon is already small in about six miles in the diameter. To refer to it, the Earth satellite diameter is 2,159 miles, and the largest moon in our solar system, Jupiter’s Ganymede, is 3270 miles. The moon also contains a circular orbit, according to the SWRI team, which means that it is likely to be in the same area where it is currently going on.
The fourteenth moon in Uranus revolves closer to its rings than most other satellites.
Best TBA name
Although the fourteenth moon, which NASA S/2025 U1 calls, has a long way to go to compete with Jupiter and Saturn, which has 95 and 274 confirmed satellites, respectively. However, Uranus is the king of small moons.
“There is no other planet with many small interior satellites like Uranus,” said Matthew Tskarino, a research member at the City Institute in Mountain View. California. Since the S/2025 U1 is much smaller than the known satellites, Tiscareno is assumed that there may be small, more drunk moons that have not been discovered yet.
NASA notes that this research has not been reviewed by the counterparts yet, so the S/2025 U1 may still be rejected unseen. However, if this is confirmed, the moon will get a better name (hope) from the International Astronomical Union and becomes completely official.
