Saturn has 274 confirmed moons as of March 2025, the highest number of moons of any planet in the Solar System
. This count includes a large discovery announced in early 2025 of 128 new moons, found using advanced image processing techniques and careful observations with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope
. These moons vary greatly in size, from large moons like Titan-which is bigger than Mercury-to small, faint moons only a few kilometers across
. The moons have diverse characteristics and orbits, including regular moons with prograde orbits near Saturn's equatorial plane and many irregular moons with distant, often retrograde orbits
. The discovery of so many moons provides valuable insights into Saturn's history and the evolution of the Solar System.
