New Moon Found In Saturn's G-Ring

caffiend666 writes "Scientists have announced a new moon has been found hidden in the G Ring of Saturn. The discovery was announced Tuesday in a notice by the International Astronomical Union. This is one of over five dozen moons, and is only a third of a mile wide. No word yet on a name for the new moon; I vote Cowboy Neal."

Re:A third of a mile makes it a moon?

Because the people that find objects just under that arbitrary size will be upset that their discovery isn't classed 'higher'.

Pluto was one of the first big finds for American Astronomers, and many thing that its classification as a planet (and the continued uproar over its declassification) is just an American power play.
