Abstract:
Last month, two new moons were discovered orbiting Uranus. They differ from those already known, being much further from the planet, and having elongated orbits — these are ‘irregular’ moons, such as are seen around all the other giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. So the discovery makes Uranus more like the other planets, to the relief of some astrophysicists.
