Saturn has replaced Jupiter as the planet with the most moons in our solar system, with a total of 274 moons.
A group of astronomers from Taiwan, Canada, the United States, and France discovered 128 new moons orbiting Saturn using the Canada France Hawaii Telescope.
The newly discovered Saturnian moons are irregular moons, likely fragments of originally captured moons that broke apart due to collisions.
The high number and concentration of new moons near the Mundilfari subgroup suggest a recent cosmic collision within the Saturn system.
