Weather of Arabia - A team of scientists recently discovered 20 new moons around Saturn.

Saturn surpasses Jupiter with 20 new moons:

In the details, 20 new moons were discovered around Saturn, which increases the number of moons around it to 82, and that Saturn has surpassed Jupiter and its 79 moons.

Jupiter still has the largest moon, Ganymede:

It is worth noting that Jupiter , "the largest planet in our solar system", still has the largest moon, as the moon "Ganymede" is about half the mass of the Earth, in contrast to the 20 new moons of Saturn, which are very small and do not exceed the diameter of each of them 5 km. .

100 moons around Saturn that have not yet been discovered:

About 100 small moons around Saturn are still waiting to be discovered, says Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution for Science, who led the discovery team. Sheppard and his team used a telescope in Hawaii to identify Saturn's 20 new moons over the summer.
