Why Does Saturn Have 83 Mysterious Moons?
Until a few weeks ago, Saturn was the planet with more moons, totaling 83. However, it was dethroned when 12 new moons were discovered orbiting Jupiter, making Jupiter the planet with more moons. But, Saturn is much smaller than Jupiter and still has many objects orbiting around it. What mysteries do Saturn’s moons hide?
