Astronomers have discovered 62 new moons orbiting the ringed planet Saturn.
The satellite haul brings the planet’s total number of moons to over 100 and also means the gas giant takes back the crown as the solar system’s “moon king” from Jupiter.
Prior to this discovery, Saturn had 83 moons recognized by the International Astronomical Union, so the new batch brings the total number to an incredible 145. The discovery marks another milestone for Saturn, with the planet becoming the first world in the cosmos known to be orbited by more than 100 moons.
