Saturn's true number of moons. #cosmoknowledge #space #cosmos #universe #jupiter #astrophysics

[xigreekbigletter]

Saturn might have even more moons undiscovered

[ALMarkAZ]

Mining companies will love Saturn's orbit in the far future.

[davidvictory]

Of those 146 how many are asteroids trapped in it's gravity?

[Sap_Bvbblz]

How it feels to have 3 friends in your school and then like 90 online friends tbh

[carolina.]

Earth is pretty unique having a planet hit us and peel a moon out of our planet

[Gavae_Asir]

Saturn is protective and protected with those moons bro-

[thecameraman]

That's not counting the rings, right?

[CLANIMATINS_]

146 friends❌
146 space rocks to turn into rings✅

[abloogywoogywoo]

Saturn: 5 close friends/family
Also Saturn: 146+ Tiktok followers

[HellotherLOL]

It’s astonishing this only has a few views.

[Jacksontoogood]

Facts: 7 moons from Saturn is visible and 82 moons are undiscovered.

[Archduke_Astatos]

It would be 147 if Saturn didnt tear one apart...

[dbsti]

J1407B is a fairly new planet around a very young star. Its rings extend beyond what you see here. It is theorized that some ringed planets start off this way and those rings eventually coalesce into moons like a mini solar system. Saturns rings today have moons still forming inside of it and those rings will eventually be gone.

[AtmosphericHelicity]

You wanna know a fact even crazier, earth has several quasi-moons and there could be more undiscovered.

Here is a list:

(164207) 2004 GU9
(277810) 2006 FV35
2013 LX28
2014 OL339
469219 Kamoʻoalewa
2020 PP1
2023 FW13

This was since July 2024

suddenly the youtube algorithm exploring space to me

[JoseIgnacioCastroB.-vzcl]

Those are not "moons", they are only asteroids trapped by Saturn but not just "moons". A moon is almost spherical by gravity and cleans its orbit around the planet. It is like the new definition of a "planet" that makes the difference with a "dwarf planet" like Eris, Sedna or Pluto.

[naferemix]

Part of the moon definition is clearing your orbital path. I wonder how many of these have a gap in the rings, I suspect the line between moons and ring particles/moon pieces is very blurred when it comes to Saturn.

[sachhh]

How do they go around without any crashing into one another

[Legos_and_videogames]

As a space nerd, I would always pull this on someone if they mention Jupiter's moons

[rodrigoappendino]

Would it be possible to see how many of them by naked eyes from the "surface" of Saturn?
