Neptune's tiny, mysterious moon may be a 'chipped-off piece' from a larger Moon as a result of collision with a comet that took place billions of years ago, scientists say.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope had discovered the diminutive moon in 2013. Astronomers call it "the moon that shouldn't be there."
