And now Saturn has twelve more moons to boot!

Astronomers trying to perfect a model for how the solar system formed got a dozen tiny steps closer to their goal last week, thanks to the discovery of 12 additional moons around Saturn.

The moons were discovered by a team of astronomers at the University of Hawaii and the Carnegie Institution of Washington, with the help of several powerful telescopes atop the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii.
