Neptune’s pair of new moons brings the planet’s total count up to 16. The larger of the two, provisionally known as S/2002 N5, was found to be 14 miles (23 km) in diameter with a nine-year orbit.

Is there a massive undiscovered planet on the outer reaches of the Solar System? The idea has been around since before the ...

The brighter of Neptune's two new moons is provisionally named "S/2002 N5." At 14 miles (23 km) wide, this newly discovered satellite seems to be in a 9-year orbit around Neptune.

It is 14 miles wide and appears to be in a 9-year orbit around Neptune. The fainter moon is named S/2021 N1 and it is about 8.6 miles wide. It circles the planet once every 27 years.

NASA's Pluto-bound New Horizons spacecraft captured this view of the giant planet Neptune and its large moon Triton on July 10, 2014, from a distance of about 2.45 billion miles (3.96 billion ...

Washington, DC – Three new objects locked into roughly the same orbit as Neptune–called “Trojan” asteroids–have been found by researchers from the Carnegie Institution’s Department of ...

Those moons, called S/2002 N5 and S/2021 N1, bring the total of Neptune’s known moons to 18. The moon S/2021 N1 takes about 27 Earth years to complete an orbit around Neptune while S/2002 N5 ...
