29th moon of Uranus – S/2025 U1
Astronomers may have uncovered yet another moon orbiting Uranus. Detected earlier this year with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), this tiny satellite could bring the total number of Uranus’ known moons to 29. While the discovery is still undergoing peer review, preliminary findings strongly support the addition. The moon, temporarily designated S/2025 U1, is…

Yet, as decay sets in with age, we question evolution's narrative: are we the pinnacle of complexity or remnants of more advanced beings? This perspective challenges our understanding of growth, decay, and our place in nature.
