These images show the discovery of the new Neptune Trojan asteroid 2005 TN53 taken about 30 minutes apart on UT October 7, 2005 with the Magellan 6.5 meter telescope in Chile. The motion of the Trojan clearly stands out compared to the steady state background of stars and galaxies. Images on the right are the same as those on the left except that they have a yellow arrow showing the location and movement of the new Trojan.
