🚀 A New Moon of Uranus! 🌑🪐

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a brand-new moon orbiting Uranus, temporarily designated S/2025 U1.

If its reflectivity is similar to Uranus’s other moons, the newcomer is about 10 km across.

In this animation from Webb’s observations, you can spot the newly found moon, along with 13 of Uranus’s 28 known moons — and of course, its rings. The sequence captures about 6 hours of real time.
