Amateur Astronomer Discovers New Moon Orbiting Jupiter - Yahoo Lifestyle

With constant news of parts of our solar system currently being mapped, tracked, and even visited, it’d be understandable to think it’s impossible to discover something like a whole new moon.

Amateur astronomer, Kai Ly, proved that’s the case with their recent discovery of a new moon orbiting Jupiter.

As reported by Space.com, Ly was able to make the discovery by poring through images the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (below) captured in 2003.

They were parsing through images of Jovian moons astronomers recently discovered.

“I’m proud to say that this is the first planetary moon discovered by an amateur astronomer!” they said.

They added that it is, however, “just a typical member” of the Carme group.

(The Carme group is a group of moons that orbits Jupiter. Its largest moon, Carme, is in the GIF above.).
