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. That makes Jupiter's 95 moons look paltry, and our single moon downright embarrassing. (Just kidding, we love our moon.)
A team of astronomers from Taiwan, Canada, the U.S., and France discovered the 128 new moons in 2023 using the Canada France Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). However, the moons weren't officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union, the governing body for such affairs, until Tuesday (March 11).
