No planet currently has 1,000 confirmed moons. While Jupiter and Saturn boast the largest number of moons in our solar system, neither reaches this high number.
Moons of Jupiter and Saturn
Here's a breakdown of the moon counts for the two planets with the most moons:
-
Jupiter: As of October 2023, Jupiter has 95 confirmed moons.
-
Saturn: As of May 2023, Saturn has 146 confirmed moons.
It is worth noting that these numbers can change as astronomers continue to discover smaller moons orbiting these planets. However, reaching 1,000 moons would require a significant number of additional discoveries. The reference text incorrectly states that Jupiter has the largest number of moons. This information is outdated; Saturn currently holds the record.
