Jupiter Breaks Solar System Record With Discovery of 12 New Moons

The dozen newly-discovered moons orbiting Jupiter are thought to be fragments of once bigger moons.

There’s a new moon king in our solar system: 12 new moons were discovered around Jupiter, which makes it the planet with the most moons.

Jupiter is already the biggest planet in our solar system. It used to be known as the planet with the second-most moons with 80, trailing only Saturn with 83.
