A team led by scientists at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in Colorado made 10 different 40-minute exposures of Uranus using JWST's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) in order to find the small moon. Its discovery brings the total number of known Uranian moons to 29.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a tiny moon orbiting Uranus, expanding the number of the planet's known satellites to 29.

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a previously unknown moon orbiting Uranus, the solar system's tilted seventh planet. This new space discovery brings the ice giant world's bevy of moons up to 29, a count that includes a yet-to-be-named moon discovered in 2023.

Deep-field images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope revealed 300 unusually energetic early galaxy candidates, offering new insights into how the universe formed and evolved over 13 billion years ago.

Scientists think the new tiny moon hid for so long -- even eluding the Voyager 2 spacecraft during its flyby about 40 years ago — because of its small size.
