Scientists Find a New Moon Orbiting Uranus
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/40892136
It's amazing to me that we can still find new heavenly bodies within our own solar system in 2025. Not to mention the possibility that we have data that suggests there might be yet another beyond Pluto, but that's still speculative.
Science: one of the only topics that doesn't suck in 2025.

That's it, this is my best science news for the year. Nothing is going to top finding a new moon.
Way more gravity to capture bigger objects.
Also there’s debate about how to classify moons, and how many earth would have if you counted the things stuck in our gravity wells.
We must know more. It is imperative that we send a probe to plunge into the moon of uranus!
You are so fat there's a moon orbiting uranus.
I thought moon and Uranus were synonyms?
