S/2023 U 1 is the smallest and faintest natural satellite of Uranus known, with a diameter of around 8–12 km (5–7 mi). It was discovered on 4 November 2023 by Scott S. Sheppard using the 6.5-meter Magellan–Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile, and later announced on 23 February 2024. [1]
The list of minor planets consists of more than 700 partial lists, each containing 1000 minor planets grouped into 10 tables. The data is sourced from the Minor Planet Center (MPC) and expanded with data from the JPL SBDB (mean-diameter), Johnston's archive (sub-classification) and others (see detailed field descriptions below) .
The Sun, planets, moons and dwarf planets (true color, size to scale, distances not to scale). The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the Solar System:
In August 1977, Voyager 2 launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune during a rare 175-year planetary alignment. [4] The following month, Voyager 1 was launched from the same location. In March 1979, Voyager 1 approached Jupiter and followed 4 months later with Voyager 2's flyby.

Later, between 1845 and 1846, John Adams and Urbain Le Verrier separately predicted the existence and location of a new planet from irregularities in the orbit of Uranus. [100] This new planet was finally found by Johann Galle and eventually named Neptune , following the predicted position gave to him by Le Verrier.
For example, the model of Jupiter was located in the cavernous South Station waiting area. The properly-scaled, basket-ball-sized model is 1.3 miles (2.14 km) from the model Sun which is located at the museum, graphically illustrating the immense empty space in the Solar System.
