Nereid
Nereid, the last satellite of Neptune to be discovered before NASA Voyager's recent discoveries, was first seen by Gerard Kuiper in 1949. Until this Voyager 2 image was obtained, all that was known about Nereid was its orbital parameters and intrinsic brightness. This Voyager view of Nereid was obtained on Aug. 24, 1989 at a distance of 4.7 million kilometers (2....

An ancient moonpocalypse may explain #Neptune’s odd #moon #Nereid
The strange satellite was born in a steady, circular orbit around Neptune, then tossed into its elongated orbit during a chaotic encounter with a #Pluto-sized body that ejected or pulverized all its sibling #moons. This idea counters assumption that Nereid formed in #KuiperBelt, the cold reservoir of #space rocks in outer #solarsystem, and was pitched into its present orbit later.

Nereid as a regular satellite of Neptune: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aeb1429 -> Oddball Moon Might Be a Neptune Original After All: https://eos.org/articles/oddball-moon-might-be-a-neptune-original-after-all - infrared observations of #Nereid hint that it might have formed in orbit around Neptune, unlike most of the planet’s other satellites.

Heute zum #musikmittwoch gibt es einen Ohrwurm von mir, der zum nächsten Mond passt, den wir besuchen.
Should i stay or should i go
Mit der Melodie im Kopf widmen wir uns dem Neptunmond
Nereid
Nereid wurde am 1. Mai 1949 von Gerard P. Kuiper von der Erde aus entdeckt. Ja, genau, der Herr, nach dem auch der Asteroidengürtel benannt wurde.
