Astronomers are testing a quieter way of searching for moons beyond the solar system, using careful measurements of motion rather than changes in ligh.
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a new moon orbiting Uranus. The moon, designated S/2025 U1, is about six miles (10 kilometers) in diameter, which made it hard to spot by ...
For researchers at the University of Idaho, spotting a moon 6 miles wide orbiting Uranus, a staggering 1.8 billion miles from Earth, may actually be easier than finding a white cat in a snowstorm. A ...
Astronomers have found a space rock that has been quietly hanging around Earth for decades: a tiny asteroid named 2025 PN7. This so-called “quasi-moon” isn’t a true moon or a mini-moon, because it ...
A NASA research team including the University of Idaho Physics Professor, Dr. Matthew Hedman, discovered a new moon orbiting Uranus. The team used imagery captured from NASA's James Webb Space ...
After decades of searching, astronomers may have finally stumbled upon the first moon known to exist beyond our solar system—and it's an absolute giant. Reading time 3 minutes In September, NASA ...
Many of the most interesting bodies in our Solar System aren’t planets, but the moons that orbit them. They have active volcanoes, hydrocarbon oceans, geysers, and moon-wide oceans buried under icy ...
Earth will have a visitor within its orbit for the next several decades, according to astronomers. An asteroid named 2025 PN7 has become a "quasi-moon" to Earth, as it will be sharing an orbit with ...
