Summary
[edit]DescriptionNeptune's Mini-moon (Illustration) (48451437276).jpg |
This is an artist's concept of the tiny moon Hippocamp, which was discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2013. Only 20 miles across, it may actually be a broken-off fragment from Neptune's much larger neighboring moon Proteus (seen as a small crescent in the upper right). This is the first evidence for a moon being born from a comet collision with a much larger parent body.

JPEG file comment | This is an artist's concept of the tiny moon Hippocamp that was discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2013. Only 20 miles across, it may actually be a broken-off fragment from a much larger neighboring moon, Proteus, seen as a crescent in the background. This is the first evidence for a moon being an offshoot from a comet collision with a much larger parent body. |
