NASA’s James Webb Telescope discovers a new moon around Uranus

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected a new moon, S/2025 U1, orbiting Uranus. This tiny moon, only 10 kilometers in diameter, was missed by Voyager 2 nearly four decades ago. The discovery, made using Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, increases Uranus’ known moons to 29, providing insights into the planet’s complex moon and ring system and its dynamic history.
