Three tiny new moons spotted orbiting Uranus and Neptune

Recent discoveries have expanded our knowledge of the solar system with the identification of three moons around Uranus and Neptune.

These distant ice giant planets pose challenges in detecting small moons due to their considerable distance.

Notably, one of the newly found moons is the faintest ever discovered by a ground-based telescope.

In contrast to Jupiter and Saturn, known for hosting numerous moons, Uranus currently boasts 28 moons, while Neptune has 16.

Among the discoveries is Uranus’s tiny new moon, measuring just 5 miles across. Similar to Uranus’s other moons, it will eventually receive a name inspired by a character from a Shakespearean play.

As of now, it is temporarily named S/2023 U1, Digital Trends reported.
