[net.space] Keeping track of new moons

weemba@brahms.BERKELEY.EDU (Matthew P. Wiener) (02/26/86)

Is it possible to keep track of the newly discovered Uranian moons?
In particular, did Voyager 2 get enough of an orbit?  Were there
enough recognizable features?  Would the next flyby merely end up
rediscovering them?

Were there similar problems with the new moons of Jupiter and Saturn?
They had the advantage of two flybys.  And have they gotten real names yet?

In other words, was the discussion about naming the moons moot?
