Five new moons for planet Neptune

[utln]

Five new satellites - and one candidate moon - have been discovered orbiting the giant planet Neptune, bringing its tally of moons to 13.

Two orbit in the same direction as the planet rotates, while the orbits of the others are opposite to Neptune's spin.

The tiny outer satellites are probably captured asteroids, astronomers say.
