A new Neptunus Moon has Founded

The Hubble Space Telescope discovered a new moon of Neptune, like Nasa confirmed. The discovery of a new moon is called S/2004 N 1, making the planet Neptune has
a 14 month revolving around it.
Month which is about 20 km was the smallest in the orbit of Neptune, and circled the planet every 23 hours.
New moon of Neptune was discovered by U.S. astronomer Mark Showalter when doing research on the rings that surround Neptune.
Nasa said the moon was very small and dim, so that the Voyager spacecraft did not find the month when it passed Neptune and researchers moon and ring system of the planet.
Showalter methods used to find the month by tracking the movement of white dots that keep appearing in 150 photos taken by Hubble's Neptune around the year 2004-2009.
"The moon's orbit and circles very fast, so we had to think of a way to follow their movements to know the system in detail," said Showalter.
"It's the same as a sports photographer who follow a runners and athletes remain in focus, but the background is blurred." - Dewapeny.
