Astronomers have identified three new moons in our solar system, with one orbiting Uranus and two around Neptune, bringing the total count to around 293 natural satellites. These faint objects were discovered using powerful telescopes in Chile and Hawaii, and are expected to be named after characters from Shakespeare plays and Greek mythology sea nymphs. The moons, although new to astronomers, are not new to the solar system, hinting at the possibility of more discoveries.
