Summary: US astronomer Mark Showalter has used pictures from Hubble to spot a new icy moon of Neptune. It was too tiny for Voyager to have picked up but with Hubble's higher resolution he was able to track the white blur across many years of images. It is Neptune's smallest moon measuring only 20 km (12 miles) across and completing one revolution around Neptune every 23 hours.
