At the same time, before this, Saturn used to have the maximum number of moons, which has 83 moons. Astronomer Scott Shepard of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, who gave information about this, has detected dozens of new moons. Shepard said the size of the newly discovered moon is between 0.6 miles to 2 miles (1 kilometer to 3 kilometers).
The Jovian system is now a mini solar system in itself with these 92 moons. Jupiter was already the largest planet in our solar system. Interestingly, the newly discovered moons complete their orbits in 340 days. Meanwhile, nine of the 12 are among the 71 outermost Jovian moons, which complete one orbit in more than 550 days.
Meanwhile, Europa Clipper will be launched by NASA next year to explore a moon of Jupiter that is said to harbor an ocean beneath its frozen crust.
