Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Animation of Neptune's irregular moon S/2002 N 5 (formerly c02N4), imaged as a slow-moving 25th magnitude object by Brett J. Gladman et al. with the ESO's VLT-FORS1 imager on 3 September 2002. Each frame is a median stack of four 420-second exposures taken in the R-band filter; the individual exposures are shifted slightly to follow the moon's movement so that it appears as a point source in the median stack. The moving dark spots and curves are image artifacts due to dust on the camera. These images were taken as part of follow-up observations of Neptune's five irregular moons discovered by Gladman et al. in the month before (August 2002), although S/2002 N 5 was lost after these observations and was never seen again until September 2021. |
