The Discovery of Neptune’s Moons 🔭🪐 | Universe Sandbox 2

Let’s revisit the discovery of Neptune’s moons — a fascinating chapter in space history! 🌌
In this Universe Sandbox 2 simulation, I recreate the moment when William Lassell discovered Triton in 1846, just weeks after Neptune itself was found. 🌕✨

Triton is unique — it orbits backward (retrograde) and may once have been a captured dwarf planet. This discovery helped scientists understand more about gravitational capture and moon formation. 💫
