NEW MOONS FOR ICE GIANT PLANETS!

 Hey Space Placers!

New moons: Bright oval shape among many slanted bright and faint lines, with arrow pointing to tiny faint dot.

Astronomers captured this image of a new moon of Uranus – labeled S/2023 U1 by astronomers – on November 4, 2023. The moon isn’t that big bright light. It’s the little dot to the left of the bright light. See where the arrow is pointing? Altogether, astronomers announced 3 new moons for Uranus and Neptune in February 2024.
