I'm the castle in the center with the arrowhead over it. I have Uranus in front of me, I have a rock to the west of me, a digger to the east of me, and to the north of me, I have a wall. There's a joke in there somewhere, I just know it.

New moons of Uranus and Neptune Stated
On February 23, 2024, astronomers announced the discovery of three new moons in our solar system: two orbiting Neptune and one circling Uranus. This brings the total number of known moons to 16 for Neptune and 28 for Uranus.

Uranus's new moon: This tiny moon, measuring just 5 miles (8 kilometers) wide, is the first new moon discovered around the ice giant in over two decades. It takes a whopping 680 days to complete one orbit around Uranus. Interestingly, it might even be the smallest moon orbiting Uranus new moon
Neptune's new moons: The brighter of the two new Neptunian moons, provisionally named "S/2002 N5," is 14 miles (23 kilometers) wide and seems to be in a 9-year orbit around Neptune. The fainter moon, currently named "S/2021 N1," is slightly smaller at 8.6 miles (14 kilometers) wide and takes a much longer 27 years to circle Neptune. Both moons will eventually be assigned permanent names based on sea gods and nymphs from Greek mythology. Neptune's new moons
These discoveries are significant because they help us learn more about the formation and evolution of our solar system. They also raise the possibility that there might be even more moons out there waiting to be found, especially around the distant ice giants like Uranus and Neptune.

A pairing of a waning gibbous Moon and Jupiter with its four Galilean moons visible tonight dances in the sky after the Harvest Supermoon. Uranus and the Pleiades (M45) in the constellation Taurus follow in the glare of our Moon that is illuminating the zenith on its way to setting in the western sky at sunrise.

The fourth and final supermoon of 2023 rises tonight with the planet Neptune in the constellation Pisces, joined by Saturn with the globular clusters M15, M2 & M30 to the east and Jupiter & Uranus to the west, and is the first full moon following the autumnal equinox.

The third supermoon of 2023, and the Moon's closest approach to Earth this year, is in the sky with Saturn and Neptune for a second night as the calendar changes to the month of September. To the right of Saturn are the globular clusters M15, M2 and M30 in a vertical line across the constellation Aquarius, and Jupiter and Uranus are trailing the Moon. September 28-29 will be the fourth and final supermoon of 2023. #BlueMoonSupermoon #BlueMoon #BlueSupermoon #Supermoon2023 #Supermoon #Moon #Perigee #Astronomy

The ending of a Full Buck Moon brightens the sky in the constellation Sagittarius after a thunderstorm tonight. Next to the Moon in the sky are the globular star clusters M55 and M75, and following the Moon's path across the morning sky are the planets Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, and Uranus. This supermoon is the first of four for this summer of 2023, the next being on August 1 and the closest approach to Earth occurring on August 30-31.
