Newly Discovered Moon Around Uranus Was Hiding Outside Its Rings
A new moon has been discovered orbiting Uranus, the seventh planet in our solar system. This is the 29th moon found to be circling Uranus. The newly discovered moon is approximately six miles (10 kilometers) wide and was hiding outside Uranus' rings. The discovery was made by astronomers using data from the Hubble Space Telescope. Uranus is known for its unusual tilt, which causes it to rotate on its side as it orbits the Sun. This unique orientation has resulted in the planet having a complex system of rings and numerous moons. The identification of this additional moon around Uranus contributes to our understanding of the formation and evolution of the planet's satellite system. Further observations and research will help shed light on the characteristics and origins of this newly detected celestial body.
