Suddenly discovered a new moon in the Solar System

Scientists say the Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a new moon in our Solar System.

According to ScienceWorldReport, NASA / ESA Hubble Space Telescope has detected and identified a new moon surrounding the third largest dwarf planet known as OR10 in the Solar System. This dwarf planet is known as an object outside Hai Vuong Tinh (Trans-Neptunian, abbreviated as TN0) and it was previously thought that it has no moon.

Scientists have begun to think that dwarf planets may have a moon because it is rotating more slowly than we have seen through the Kepler telescope. This indicates that the moon can affect its rotation speed. They found that in 2007 OR10 needed about 45 hours to complete a rotation while normally this time was only about 24 hours.

The dwarf planet OR10 and its moon are located in the Kuiper belt.

Then scientists look at the images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. They discovered that there is a moon in the image of dwarf planet OR10 through observations in 2009 and 2010. The problem is that the moon was initially unnoticed.

Csaba Kiss, an astronomer at the Konkoly Observatory in Budapest and the lead author of this study, said that scientists initially missed the moon in Hubble's image because it was very faint. They then use the dwarf planet's temperature measurements through the Herschel Space Observatory Observatory. They determined the diameter of this moon about 150 miles to 250 miles.

The team concludes that its planet and moon are located in the Kuiper belt , the remaining area freezing due to the solar system's shape 4.6 billion years ago. They claim that most dwarf planets in the Kuiper belt are larger than 600 miles. According to TeCake, discovering this moon satellite can help us better understand the development of satellites in solar systems.
