Saturn is the undisputed king of moons
Over the past decades, there’s been debate of which planet as the most moons. A decade ago, it was Jupiter with 63 known moons. That title held until this past October, when a new group of moons was found orbiting Saturn.
Using newer telescopes, researchers found that Saturn has 20 more moons than we thought, bringing its total up to 82.
Given that it takes some of these new moons over 3 years to orbit, it makes sense that it’s taken some time to count them all.
