Summary
Astronomers have discovered 128 new moons around Saturn, bringing its total to 274, far surpassing Jupiter’s 95.
The moons, formally recognized by the International Astronomical Union, are small, irregularly shaped objects detected using the “shift and stack” technique.
Scientists believe they are remnants of larger celestial bodies shattered by collisions within the last 100 million years.
The discovery sheds light on the early solar system’s chaotic history and could help explain the origins of Saturn’s rings. Meanwhile, ESA’s Hera spacecraft will conduct a close flyby of Mars’s moon Deimos.
agreed, the show really covered up some of what I felt was amateurish character development in the books. I actually put one of the books down for a bit when it occurred to me that itd transitioned to “zombies in space”. I also wasnt too keen on the authors describing the belters as “hezbollah” at one point early in the series. But, at the end I liked them, they passed the time, and I was glad I had read them. Not great works of art, but a good space opera.
