New Saturn Moons

7431roC · 2006-06-27 21:56:06

Nine new moons were listed today and had their orbital elements published by the MPC (Minor Planet Center). Last count is 56 moons for Saturn. They are pretty small with retrograde orbits (periods 2 to 3 years). All found from Earth, not down to Cassini :)
