Saturn now holds the record for the most known moons after 128 new discoveries. These small irregular moons offer clues about Saturn's violent past and ancient collisions.
Astronomers used the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to detect these faint objects over several years. The findings suggest a major collision occurred within Saturn's moon system recently.
This event likely created many of Saturn's numerous small irregular moons.
