How Many Moons Does Saturn Have?

NASA s Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of Saturn July 4, 2020. Two of Saturn s icy moons are clearly visible in this exposure: Mimas at right and Enceladus at the bottom. This image is taken as part of the Outer Planets Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) project. NASA, ESA, A. Simon (Goddard Space Flight Center), M.H. Wong (University of California, Berkeley), and the OPAL Team There s a race happening in our solar system, but it has nothing to do with gravitational mechanics or velocity. Astronomers who study the gas giant planets of Saturn and Jupiter are in a close competition to see who can discover more moons. At this point, ringed Saturn is in the lead but exactly how many moons does Saturn have? And how does that compare to massive Jupiter s count?

Jupiter, Saturn Merge in Night Sky in Rare Celestial Event

Jupiter, Saturn ‘Merge’ in Night Sky in Rare Celestial Event CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Jupiter and Saturn will merge in the night sky Monday, appearing closer to one another than they have since Galileo’s time in the 17th century. Astronomers say so-called conjunctions between the two largest planets in our solar system aren’t particularly rare. Jupiter passes its neighbor Saturn in their respective laps around the sun every 20 years. But the one coming up is especially close: Jupiter and Saturn will be just one-tenth of a degree apart from our perspective or about one-fifth the width of a full moon. They should be easily visible around the world a little after sunset, weather permitting.
