With the new spottings, Saturn has usurped Jupiter which has 95 known moons, while Uranus (28) and Neptune (16) remain third and fourth on the list.

Saturn has cemented its status as the planet with the most moons, leaving Jupiter trailing behind. Astronomers have confirmed the discovery of 128 additional moons orbiting Saturn, bringing its total to an astonishing 274.

Earlier this week, Saturn gained a whopping 128 new official moons, as the International Astronomical Union recognised discoveries from a team of astronomers led by Edward Ashton at the Academia Sinica in Taiwan. The sixth planet from the Sun now has a grand total of 274 moons, the most of any planet in the Solar System.
