Saturn may be giving birth to its new moon. The new moon has been named as Peggy by scientists and it has been captured by NASA's Cassini probe. It has been revealed by NASA that the photo shows a tiny, fuzzy blip nestled just outside of Saturn's A ring.

The new moon is only half a mile in diameter and is not expected to grow any further. Instead, scientists believe that it will soon fall apart. Compared to 62 other moons of Saturn, Peggy is very small and still in its infancy state.

The moon is so small that Cassini could not grab a proper picture of it. But nevertheless, it has been made clear through the picture captured by the NASA's Cassini probe that Saturn has an unusual growth on the edge of one of Saturn's rings. This growth is highly likely to be the birth of Saturn's new icy moon.

"We have not seen anything like this before. We may be looking at the act of birth, where this object is just leaving the rings and heading off to be a moon in its own right", said Carl Murray of Queen Mary University of London.
Scientists are confident that they will be able to have a detailed look of the moon later when the Cassini will move closer to the planet.

The new moon seems to be the last birth of any moon by Saturn because the ring of ice from where all the moons are born has depleted to an extent that it will not be possible for Saturn to give birth to any moon after the 63rd one.

The moons that formed earlier are the largest for a simple reason that the moons formed near the edge and they depleted the rings as they evolved. So, the moons that formed lately are the smallest because of being formed of much depleted ring of Saturn.
