New satellites of Uranus (and Neptune) discovered.

[Dr Paul Leyland]

Recently three new satellites in the outer solar system have been discovered, one of Neptune and two more for Uranus.

As Uranian satellites are all named after characters in Shakespeare’s plays, I suggest that one of the new moons should be called “Bottom”.

Great idea! Would certainly put even more smiles on teenage faces during astronomy lessons 🙂

My apologies. One of Uranus and two of Neptune. That’s what comes of relying on memory rather than re-checking sources.

My suggestion remains unchanged.
