Summary
| Description |
English: "Discovery image" made Sept. 6, 1997, at the Palomar Observatory by Philip Nicholson, Joseph Burns, Brett Gladman and J.J. Kavelaars. The brighter of the two "new" moons of Uranus, S/1997 U2, is circled in the upper right portion of the frame. S/1997 U1 does not appear in this image. The bright light in the lower left is from the planet, which is out of the frame. The spikes extending from some stars are artifacts of the CCD electronic imaging process. |
