A team of astronomers led by the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian has discovered a rare object far beyond ...

Unlike Jupiter and Saturn, which both have a plethora of moons, Uranus is known to host 28 moons and Neptune just 16. That includes Uranus’s new diminutive moon, which is just 5 miles across.

The brighter of Neptune's two new moons is provisionally named "S/2002 N5." At 14 miles (23 km) wide, this newly discovered satellite seems to be in a 9-year orbit around Neptune.

The existence of these hidden oceans on Neptune and Uranus, as well as a lack of mixing within their interiors, a key feature in generating planetary magnetic fields, may hold the answer to why.

Some estimates suggest Uranus and Neptune may each have 50,000 times the quantity of water in Earth's oceans. But the authors of the new study say these models ignore the way the ice giants formed.

Uranus and Neptune are not the colour we tend to think they are, scientist have said.. Generally, Neptune is depicted as a rich, deep blue. Uranus is usually seen as a pale green or cyan. In fact ...

“Once S/2002 N5’s orbit around Neptune was determined using the 2021, 2022, and 2023 observations, it was traced back to an object that was spotted near Neptune in 2003 but lost before it ...
