The Qatar, which is called the S/1 U3, is only 2 kilometers, so the NASA Viler was not observed when it was passed by the planet in year 6, according to . Also, other space telescopes had not observed the moon.
A team of researchers led by the South West Research Institute in Colorado, using the NIRCAM NIRCAM Camera, made ten different photos with a 5 -minute exposure of the Uranus planet to identify the small moon. The discovery has increased the number of well -known Uranus moons to 4.
The S/1 U3 is located 2,000 kilometers from the center of Uranus. However, compared to Earth, the earth’s moon orbits the earth about 2,000 kilometers. The S/1 U3 circulates in a circular route around Uranus, which indicates that it is probably in the same position as it is now.
The moon rotates around the planet along with a few other small moon in the orbit of Uranus. The S/1 U3 will be officially named in the near future.
The discovery of the moon, in addition to displaying the revolutionary capabilities of the James Web Space Telescope, shows that there are still many unknowns about Uranus and the sophisticated moons and rings. “No planet has as small as the small interior of Uranus, and its complex internal relationship with the rings reflects the ups and downs that vague the boundary between the system and the circles,” says
