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.

Earlier this week, Saturn gained a whopping 128 new official moons, as the International Astronomical Union recognised discoveries from a team of astronomers led by Edward Ashton at the Academia Sinica in Taiwan. The sixth planet from the Sun now has a grand total of 274 moons, the most of any planet in the Solar System.

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

Saturn was already the reigning champion in the moon department. Now, with 274, Saturn has more moons than all the other planets combined.

Saturn has left its former rival in the dust with a new total of 274 moons, almost twice as many as all the other planets combined.

Astronomers have discovered 128 new moons orbiting Saturn, giving the ringed planet a total of 274 confirmed moons and surpassing Jupiter's moon count, providing new insights into the solar system's formation and evolution.

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’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 potato-shaped moons. Among Saturn’s crowded collection of 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,
