Astronomers have promoted Saturn as the astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal with the most moons. Saturn has overtaken the astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal system's largest planet Jupiter as the " astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal of the moons". The astronomers astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal discovered 20 new moons orbiting Saturn, which brings the planet's astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal number to 82. This edges out Jupiter, with 79 astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal bodies, into second place. Each of the newly-discovered moons is at astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal 5km in diameter. Seventeen of them orbit Saturn astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal and take more than three years to complete one orbit of Saturn. The astronomers found the moons using the astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal Subaru telescope, located on Hawaii. The research team will now look for moons that are around a kilometer in astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal.

Lead astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal Dr Scott Sheppard commented on the perceived astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal of the new moons. He said: "We don't think they formed with the planet. We think astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal were captured by the planet in the astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal." He posited that Saturn sucked in a swirling astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal of gas and dust to form the moons. Dr Shepperd added: "We think these moons interacted with that gas and astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal. These were comets or asteroids that happened to be passing by....They were captured into orbits around the planet astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal than falling into the planet. We think these are the last astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal of what formed Saturn." The moons will be named in a astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal after giants from Gallic, Inuit and Norse astronomerbackwardscelestialcompetitiondiameterdustkingleastmixturemythologyoriginspastplanetpowerfulratherrecentlyremnantssolartheytotal.
