How about name one of them Prince moon.

Yeah, you’d think they would have been seen already, but there’s a surprising amount we still don’t know about the solar system! But this is great!

Carnegie's Scott Sheppard has just announced the discovery of 20 new moons orbiting Saturn, bringing its total to 82 and moving it ahead of Jupiter, which has 79. All hail the new king of moons!

Earlier this year we held a contest to name five Jovian moons discovered by Sheppard last July. We loved the enthusiasm everyone showed for this contest so much that we’re doing it again. Please help us name all 20 Saturnian moons!

Contest Launch Date:

October 7, 2019

Contest End Date:

December 6, 2019

So they´ve discovered them just recently, despite observing the planets for such a long time now?

Anyway.....great find.

Distances are huge out there and some moons are pretty small by comparison. The rings themselves extend almost 200,000 miles from the planet most of the moons are much further out.
