The astronomers may not have detected a ‘mini -moon’ in the solar system before: a rocky item that rotates a small tear near Jupiter.
If the satellite of the rock, which is slightly wider than the manhattan width, is confirmed that it is a suitable moon, it will be one of the smallest moons to be seen so far.
Small satellites discovered by scientists who work in NASA’s Lucy Mission, which sends a space investigation to study some of the Trojan Terangrah, two large spaces of space stones that Jupiter around the sun in its orbit. Found everywhere.

Lucy’s investigation was launched on October 16, 2021, and Trojan will arrive in Kishodarra at the end of 2027, after making an immediate stop in the Kishorgarh belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Until then, scientists of the Lucy Mission are trying to find out more about these mysterious rocks to help identify where the investigations can be more useful.
On March 27, Lucy’s smallest Lucy Trojan targets, known as polymel, passed in front of a remote star, from the mission scientists accurately measured the size of the space rock It was allowed when the stress was blocked when the stars were blocked when passing.
However, the team also observed Bulp, a previous and small unexpectedly after another in the polymel week.
After reviewing the data, the team concluded that the second Bulip “was to be a satellite,” Principal researcher Mark Boye, who is a astronomer of the Institute for Research for Research for Research for Southwest Bolder, Colorado, a astronomer. –
The diameter of the newly discovered satellite is about 3 3 miles (5 km) and is separated from about 125 miles (27 km) about 125 125 miles (201 km). At the time of observation, polymel was about 480 million miles (772 million kilometers) from the ground.
NASA representatives wrote in a statement, “These distances are equal to finding a room on the sidewalk on Los Angeles, while in Manhattan they try to detect it from a skyscraper building.”
The term “moon” can refer to any natural solid body that rotates a planet, dwarf or a planet. According to NASA, according to NASA, more than 200 moons have been recognized in the solar system (including not even the moon), but according to NASA, the actual number is very high.
Researchers could only observe only polymel satellite, so their orbit is very uncertain. As a result, the space rock cannot yet be officially named as the moon or can not be properly named.
But researchers are convinced that when the Lucy Investigation arrives in the polymel, the spacecraft can collect enough data to designate it as a real moon.
This is not the first time that the Lucy Mission Scientists have seen a satellite after the Trojan Kishorgara.
According to Live Science site Space.com, after analyzing data collected by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, in 2021, the team detected 0.6 miles wide (1 km) satellite that orbit of Area Bits That is, which will be the first Trojan target of Lucy.
