NASA has discovered something weird about two of Neptune's moons
Researchers at NASA have discovered that a unique orbiting pattern by Neptune's two innermost moons allows them never to collide, dubbing it a "dance of avoidance".
The moons' unique orbit "has never been seen before" according to Marina Brozovic, the lead author of a new paper.
"There are many different types of 'dances' that planets, moons and asteroids can follow, but this one has never been seen before," added Dr Brozovic.
