With discovery of 12 more moons, Jupiter now has 92, the most in our solar system
LA TimesScientists have discovered 12 new moons around Jupiter, giving the giant planet a record-breaking 92 in total, more than any other planet in our solar system. Astronomers have discovered 12 new moons around Jupiter, putting the total count at a record-breaking 92 for our solar system. The Jupiter moons were added recently to a list kept by the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center, said Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution, who was part of the team. Sheppard — who discovered a slew of moons around Saturn a few years ago and has taken part in 70 moon discoveries so far around Jupiter — expects to keep adding to the lunar tally of both gas giants.
