Anton Petrov: New Moon Found Around Uranus
Although this very small moon is now officially called S/2025 U1, there are hopeful signs that it will be renamed to 'Trump's penis'. /j

From Voyager 2’s smooth blue-green view in 1986 to Webb’s breathtaking 2023 image, our vision of Uranus has transformed. Keck (2002) revealed faint rings, Hubble (2022) showed brighter tones and weather patterns, and Webb unveiled glowing rings and a luminous atmosphere.

Let's get this over with: Astronomers just found a new moon around Uranus.
It's part of an unusual group of 14 mini satellites orbiting close to the planet, within the orbit of its 1st major moon, Miranda. They may relate to the planet's rings & odd, sideways tilt.

🪨 Scientists Say That Uranus Appears to Have a Girlfriend • Futurism
｢ In a new, yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper flagged by Universe Today, an international group of researchers detailed finding a so-called "Centaur" — a small, icy and rocky body that sits between Uranus and Neptune and is designated as a minor planet — that appears to have been keeping up with Uranus in a delicate cosmic dance for thousands or even millions of years ｣
