NASA finds a whole new moon around uranium

The NASA webb telescope has found a new moon around Uranus.

The tiny object is only about 10 kilometers wide and is the 29. Additional supplement to the lunar family around the planet.

Scientists believe that it could hide not only because of its small size, but also because of its relative impotence. This meant that with other observations, such as Voyager 2, which flew past the planet about 40 years ago, it could be undetected.

There could still be many other objects that are on the planet, still undiscovered, assume, as researchers present.

“No other planet has as many small inner moons as Uranus, and their complex interrelationships with the rings indicate a chaotic story that blurs the border between a ring system and a system of moons,” said Matthew Tiscareno from the SETI institute, a member of the research team, in a statement.

“In addition, the new moon is smaller and weaker than the smallest of the previously known inner moons, which it probably does that even more complexity can be discovered.”

All moons around Uranus are named according to characters by Shakespeare and Alexandra Pope. The new is part of a system that circles, for example, in the largest moons Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon.

But the new one still has to get a name. It will be preserved when it is approved by the International Astronomical Union that chooses names and names for objects in space.
