Fun Fact: NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovered a previously unknown moon orbiting Uranus, bringing the planet's total count to 29 moons. The tiny satellite, designated S/2025 U1, is only about 6 miles (10 kilometers) in diameter and was completely invisible to the Voyager 2 spacecraft during its 1986 flyby and even to the Hubble telescope. What makes this discovery extra cool? Like all of Uranus's moons, it will be named after a character from William Shakespeare or Alexander Pope's works, continuing the planet's unique "literary moon" naming tradition!
