3 moons of Neptune may be remnants of ice worlds shattered in a catastrophic crash

Scientists have analyzed data from Voyager 2’s 1989 flyby of Neptune, revealing evidence suggesting that the planet possesses three moons. These celestial bodies are believed to be fragments resulting from a significant collision event in the distant past. Researchers indicate that further study is needed to fully understand the nature and origin of these moons. Only a single flyby has occurred thus far, highlighting the substantial amount remaining to be discovered about Neptune's system. This new information underscores the importance of continued exploration for deeper insights into this complex planetary environment.
