NASA has confirmed the discovery of a 29th moon orbiting Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun. This new moon, smaller than most cities on Earth, was found using the James Webb Space Telescope. The moon was previously hidden and undetected due to its location outside Uranus' rings.

The James Webb Space Telescope has recently observed Uranus, revealing a previously unknown and surprisingly small moon orbiting the planet. This new celestial body, which is estimated to take only two hours to walk across, was not detected by the Voyager 2 spacecraft during its 1986 flyby of Uranus. The discovery was made by astronomers using the advanced infrared capabilities of the Webb telescope, marking a significant addition to the known moons of Uranus.
