NASA Announcement About a Newly Discovered Moon...

The NASA Webb Mission Team has announced (↗) the peer-review pending discovery of a moon near the planet Uranus. Click or tap the link for more details, an image, and a video about this detection found by astronomers using the James Webb Telescope.

Since we are on the topics of moons, the Amazing Astronomy Blog's Moon Page (↗) is comprehensively updated! I did not include the moon above in my page update because the findings have not yet been analyzed through the peer review process. It is admittedly difficult to keep up with all the new cosmic and astronomical discoveries, but I try to keep you informed of particularly interesting current events!
