How many moons does Saturn have?

Urban Astronomer avatarPosted on by
UPDATE: As of 7 October 2019, when the discovery of twenty extra moons was announced, Saturn now has 82 Moons!
As of 16 May 2011, we’ve so far found 62 moons around Saturn.  Of these, only Titan is easy to see through binoculars or a small telescope.  Titan is the largest moon in the Solar system:  it’s about a third larger than Pluto and our own Moon, and is even slightly bigger than the planet Mercury!
