Astronomers find Saturn has 128 more moons in rare discovery
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.
A huge haul of 128 newfound satellites might be a hint of past collisions in the planet’s orbit, or something else.
