62 additional moons have been found around Saturn (Credit: NASA, ESA, A. Simon (GSFC), M.H. Wong (University of California, Berkeley) and the OPAL Team)

Earlier this year, Saturn lost its long-standing status as "moon king" to Jupiter after 12 new moons were added to the gas giant's 83 known satellites. But Jupiter's victory was short-lived. The ringed planet has reclaimed the title with the discovery of 62 additional moons. Saturn now boasts 145 known moons and is the first and only planet in the solar system to surpass 100 moons.

                These new moons just keep on coming as Saturn is near the asteroid belt where moons are made from those asteroids.

                  Yup! And the fact that Saturn's gravitational pull is so strong also helps a lot when getting new moons to orbit it!

                  I wish I could be a scientist and maybe find a new moon someday.
