Three tiny new moons found around Uranus and Neptune, and one is exceptionally tiny. Astronomers discover three new tiny moons, two orbiting Neptune and one around Uranus, expanding their moon counts to 28 and 16 respectively. The new moon near Uranus, named S-20023 U1, is exceptionally tiny at five miles wide and completes its orbit in 680 days. Neptune's newly identified moons, S-2002N5 and S-20021N1, are 14 and 8.6 miles wide, orbiting every nine and 27 years respectively. These discoveries were made by a team led by Scott Shepherd using observatories in Hawaii and Chile. The three moons, found through special imaging techniques, are the faintest ever observed around these planets with ground-based telescopes. All three moons have irregular highly inclined orbits suggesting they were captured by the planet's gravities rather than forming in place. If you like this video, please like and subscribe.
