It's located about 35,000 miles from Uranus' center, orbiting the planet's equatorial plane. The moon has a nearly circular orbit, suggesting it could have formed near its current location. NASA's s

James Webb Finds Evidence of Free-Floating Planets So Large They Can Gather Their Own Planetary Systems

These planets would be the center of something like a mini version of our solar system where other, smaller planets revolve around it.
