The planet Saturn is being recognized as the “moon king” of our solar system. Jupiter used to hold the record for most moons orbiting around it. It has 79. But scientists in the United States have announced the discovery of 20 new moons around Saturn. That gives the planet a new total of 82 moons. The researchers made the discovery using the powerful Subaru telescope in Hawaii. They gathered information over a period of several years. The team also used new computing models to identify moons and follow orbiting activity. Scott Sheppard led the research team. He is with the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C. “Saturn is the moon king,” Sheppard told Reuters news agency.
