Astronomers have discovered a panoply of new moons orbiting Saturn, bringing the ringed gas giant's total up to 274 moons—far beyond any other planet in our solar system.

The ringed gas giant Saturn has officially replaced Jupiter as the planet in our solar system with the most moons. The International Astronomical Union officially recognized 128 new moons orbiting Saturn, bringing the new total up to 274 moons .

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

Saturn has dozens of new moons, bringing it to a total of 274. All of the new moons are between 2 and 4 kilometres wide, but at what point is a rock too small to be a moon?

Scientists have discovered 128 new moons around Saturn, bringing the total number to 274. This is the largest number of such objects orbiting a planet in our Solar System. It turns out that Saturn still holds many secrets for us.

Canadian and other researchers have confirmed Saturn as the solar system’s undisputed “moon king," after discovering 128 more moons circling the ringed planet.

Saturn leads the list of planets with the most moons since 2023. Now that a record discovery was published, it seems to be uncatchable at the top.

Saturn is known for its iconic rings, but it should also probably be known for its moons. The ringed world was already the record holder for the most natural satellites of any planet in the Solar System at 146,
