Astronomers with the International Astronomical Union have made a significant discovery, identifying three previously unknown moons in our solar system, with two orbiting Neptune and one around Uranus. This finding, announced by various sources, adds to the growing tally of natural satellites, now estimated at around 293. Notably, one of the new moons orbiting Uranus is exceptionally small, with an estimated diameter of just 5 miles (8 kilometers), likely making it the smallest of Uranus's moons. This discovery has sparked interest across the scientific community and the public alike, as it provides further insights into the complexities of our solar system.
