<p>Twenty new moons have been found around Saturn, giving the ringed planet a total of 82.</p>
<p>That beats Jupiter and its 79 moons.</p>

<p>If it is any consolation to the Jupiter crowd, our solar system’s biggest planet — Jupiter — still has the biggest moon.</p>
<p>Jupiter’s Ganymede is almost half the size of Earth.</p>
<p>By contrast, Saturn’s 20 new moons are minuscule, each barely three miles in diameter.</p>
<p>The Carnegie Institution for Science’s Scott Sheppard, who led the discovery team, says 100 even tinier moons may be orbiting Saturn, still waiting to be found.</p>
<p>Mr Sheppard and his team used a telescope in Hawaii to spot Saturn’s 20 new moons over the summer.</p>
