Faint signatures detected by the Canada France Hawaii Telescope have revealed 128 new moons around Saturn, making it the indisputable frontrunner for having the most moons in our solar system.

The sheer number of objects suggests scientists will soon have to grapple with what counts as a moon versus what’s just a large rock

Saturn’s moons have been the subject of a lot of astronomical attention over the years. They range in size from the planet-sized Titan, which is larger than Mercury, to tiny pot

The objects around the ringed planet are tiny, but some of them may have formed relatively recently in the solar system’s history.

You thought Saturn's 146 moons were impressive? Think again. The ringed planet's moon count has nearly doubled with the official recognition of 128 new Saturnian moons, bringing its total to an astonishing 274 moons.

Saturn and Jupiter, the two gas giants, have long vied for the title of “moon king.” Over the years, astronomers have been slowly discovering tiny moons orbiting both. These discoveries sometimes changed the ranking,

The smashups are thought to have occurred at least 100 million years ago, but the moons they created are new to astronomers.
