This finding, made possible by Webb's sensitive NIRCam instrument and advanced data processing techniques, brings Uranus's known moon count to 29. The discovery highlights the telescope's capability to detect faint objects even within the glare of planetary rings and underscores the ongoing complexity of our solar system.
