Naiad is the last satellite of Neptune to be discovered. Like most other moons of Neptune, it was discovered through analysis of Voyager 2 photographs taken in 1989. The satellite lies 23,200 kilometers (14,400 miles) above Neptune's surface and orbits the planet once every 7 hours, 6 minutes. It is irregularly shaped and has absence of any evidence of geological activity. Like many other moons of Neptune, Naiad orbits Neptune in the same direction that the planet rotates and lies close to the equatorial plane.
