Detail About MCQs
For years, ringed planet Saturn was the planet with the most moons. But it was dethroned as the ‘moon king’ in February 2024 this year after astronomers discovered 12 new moons around gas giant Jupiter, which took its total tally of its moons to 95. But now, a team of space scientists led by the University of British Columbia has discovered 62 new moons of Saturn, taking the official tally to 145. The researchers said that by overtaking Jupiter, Saturn has also become the first planet to have over 100 discovered moons.
