    Neptune’s mysterious moon Nereid may be an original, study shows

    Neptune's moon Nereid may be an original companion that survived a cosmic crash, according to a study using NASA's Webb Space Telescope. Nereid's composition is inconsistent with Kuiper Belt objects and its orbit suggests it formed close to Neptune. The findings provide insight into the Neptunian system's origin story.
