Are there more out there? And what exactly makes something a moon, anyway? These new discoveries cement Saturn’s place as the winner of the Solar System’s moon competition, with more confirmed ...

In contrast, Saturn’s rings extend only 175,000 miles, and its major moons, like Titan and Enceladus, orbit within 2 million miles. Scientists believe these moons are remnants of past cosmic ...

Astronomers have discovered 128 new moons orbiting Saturn, further solidifying the planet as the "moon king" of our solar system. Astronomers from Taiwan, Canada, France and the U.S. announced the ...

Astronomers have made an exciting discovery around Saturn. They have found 128 new moons, giving the ringed planet a huge lead in the solar system’s moon count. This discovery puts Saturn far ...

Its impressive moon tally means it has the most moons of any other planet in the solar system. Saturn's satellites differ greatly in their composition, from icy giants with subsurface oceans to ...

If you're a fan of our night sky here on Earth and its singular moon, then you'd probably really, really love the view from Saturn. A team of scientists — including a Canadian from the ...

This solidifies Saturn as the planet with the most moons, a title officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union. The race between Jupiter and Saturn for moon supremacy may now be ...

Saturn is now the undisputed champion of the Solar System’s moon race, surpassing all other planets combined. But that hasn’t always been the case. Jupiter’s four largest moons—Io ...

This finding places Saturn ahead of Jupiter, which has 95 confirmed moons. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) ...

Saturn's high moon count might also stem from the composition of the objects orbiting. As per Mr Sheppard, Saturn is further from the Sun, meaning it probably captured more icy objects that could ...

The scientists who spotted the moons named a 47-strong group “Mundilfari” and apparently speculate they may have been the result of a collision in near-Saturn space that took place as recently as 100 ...
