Five New Neptunian moons

cyclop writes "It's a new time of discoveries in the Solar System. Just when Cassini discovered two news moons on Saturn, old Earth-based astronomy strikes back by revealing five small bodies around Neptune. The faint moons seem to have eccentric and inclined orbits, and to have been captured by Neptune."

I didn't say stop all funding to science, I refered explicitly to the kind of research this thread talks about. It wont help us understand the universe any more than we already do, it's just a side note to say "moons can behave like this".

Perhaps I'm just odd, but if I were standing in front of dying people and someone said, "hey lets go do some crazy experiment", I would rather stay and try and help.
