SYDNEY: Earlier this week, Saturn gained a whopping 128 new official moons, as the International Astronomical Union recognised discoveries from a team of astronomers led by Edward Ashton at the Academia Sinica in Taiwan.
The sixth planet from the Sun now has a grand total of 274 moons, the most of any planet in the Solar System.
