The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

This discovery showcases the incredible capabilities of modern space technology. The Webb telescope's advanced infrared sensors can detect objects that even Voyager 2 missed during its historic 1986 flyby. Discovering such a small moon reveals that there's still much to learn about our solar system.

Establishment-critical narrative

This raises questions about whether this discovery is truly significant for planetary science or could be a waste of financial resources. Funding might be better spent studying larger, more influential objects that actually affect planetary dynamics.
