The new discoveries mean that Saturn has not only reclaimed the top spot in the list of most known moons, surpassing Jupiter with 95, but is also the first planet with over 100 moons discovered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Over the last two decades the environment of Jupiter has been extensively studied for moons in ever greater detail. In its latest study, Edward Ashton\u2019s team, which began the research program in\u00a0UBC\u00a0and is now a postdoc at\u00a0Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics,\u00a0used a technique known as \u201cshift and stack\u201d to find fainter (and therefore smaller) moons. The method has been used for searches for moons around Neptune and Uranus, but never for Saturn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

All new moons detected are of the \u201cirregular moons\u201d class (irregular moons) thought to have originally been \u201ccaptured\u201d from their home planet long ago. They are characterized by their long, elliptical and inclined orbits compared to \u201cnormal\u201d moons. The number of known \u201cirregular moons\u201d of Saturn has more than doubled, reaching 121 \u2013 58 were known before the research began. Including the 24 regular moons, there are currently a total of 145 recognized by the International Astronomical Union.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Irregular moons tend to cluster into orbital groups based on the inclination of their orbits. In the Saturn system there are three such groups, whose names come from different mythologies: There are the group\u00a0Inuit,\u00a0the team\u00a0Gallic\u00a0and the largest group\u00a0Norse.\u00a0All new moons belong to one of the three known groups, with the group\u00a0Norse\u00a0to remain the largest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
