Saturn is our Lord of the Rings, which has a system of 300,000 km and is made of ice debris. The Gasus planets had already taken about 145 moons before the magnificent discovery of a team of astronomers, which now brings a total of 274 natural satellites! It is much higher than all the other moons in all the planets of the solar system, and nevertheless, Jupiter himself has 95.
The first series of observations is already not discovering 64 new moons in 2023 as well as a large number of items are still unknown.

“We knew that these items were probably the moon and had a lot to discover, Principal researcher Edward Ashton was announced behind this announcement. So we have once again witnessed the same regions of the sky for three months in 2023. We have received 128 new moons from Saturn, and according to our estimates, we are sure we will never find that much around Jupiter.
Some kilometers of moon are indeed from the “recent” collision

These are the so -called corrupt moon of a very minor dimension -just a few kilometers -, which is reported recently found. One assumption would be that the multiplication of these pieces, compared to the age of the planet, probably caused these pieces to multiply against one hundred million years. “Otherwise, the smallest moon collides and burst into small debris, thus decreasing their numbers compared to a larger satellite.”Explains Dr. Gladman.
Many of these new moons are located near the Mandeelfi region, a sub -group of storn moons, which probably indicates a space of collision with a double or large moon on the planet.

One thing that questions from questions are 100 million years declared period. It turns out that it is consistent with a dominant assumption of the time, which also made Saturn’s ring. Two astronomical schools live together: one understands that they are only 100 million years old. The other suggests that they themselves are as old as the planet, 4.5 billion years. However, there are arguments to emphasize both camps.
“These studies show that during their training, the planets occupied medium -sized moons more than 4 billion years ago. And what we now observe is mostly for moons, which are pieces of pieces of boxes themselves that have been caught more than 4 billion years ago.Dr. Brett explains Gladman.
