A new moon of Neptune was discovered by Mark Showalter. It was added to the cache of Neptunian moons as the 14th orbiting body. A character in Greek or Roman mythology will be used to name the satellite.

The character will be related to water as Neptune is the Roman god of the sea. Poseidon is the Greek god of the sea that holds high value in the naming process.

Mark Showalter is the astronomer and senior researcher at the SETI Institute. He discovered the Neptune's new moon and he will finally announce the name of the new moon. He may consider suggestions to name the new moon.

Showalter told PBS that he likes Polyphemus and Poseidon to name the new moon. He said that Polyphemus refers to the Cyclops -- son of Thoosa.

Recently, Showalter also discovered two moons of Pluto. He decided to crowd source the naming process, instead of picking himself. An online poll was held by him to choose the winning name.

Keroberos and Styx were the winners. Keroberos was named after the three headed dog that guards the entrance to Hades. Styx, on the other hand, is the river that separates the underworld from Earth and it is also the name of the goddess of the river.
