(CNN) -- New images from the Hubble Space Telescope show the planet Uranus has two additional moons and two faint rings never observed before.

cnn news story

SETI is mentioned down at the bottom. I'm not quite sure why. Anyone?

SETI is mentioned down at the bottom. I'm not quite sure why. Anyone?

From the third paragraph:
Astronomer Mark Showalter of the SETI Institute and his colleagues were not looking for new moons or rings when they submitted a proposal to take deep exposures of the planet with Hubble's most advanced optical camera. Rather, they planned to study the 11 previously known rings and several moons embedded within them.


the last paragraph:
The private, not-for-profit SETI Institute, whose major mission involves the search for extraterrestrial intelligence and the study of life in the universe, also has some involvement in other astronomical research projects.

Thanks MJKelleher. I missed the SETI in the third paragraph. That makes more sense.

I found another website with the picture.

I hear that one of the new moons will likely be named, "Head-Up"
