Astronomers find 128 new moons orbiting Saturn

An international team of astronomers working with the Canada France Hawaii Telescope have discovered a whopping 128 more moons orbiting Saturn. The Minor Planet Center confirmed the discoveries on March 11. The team observed Saturn repeatedly between 2019 and 2021 and combined multiple images, reducing noise and strengthening the signal from the moons. Initially, they found 64 new moons and many more objects that couldn't be confirmed at the time.
