Saturn's moons Saturn has 82 known moons. There are the large round major moons, smaller irregular inner moons, and tiny irregular outer moons that lie way beyond Saturn's rings. Some of the small moons lie within or very near to Saturn's rings. The outer moons may be comets that were captured by Saturn's powerful gravity. There are also seven "medium-sized" moons that orbit very close to Saturn

MANY MOONS The moons within or close to Saturn's main rings are (from left to right): Pan, Atlas, Prometheus (above), Pandora (below), Janus (above), and Epimetheus (below). Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, and Rhea all lie well outside the main rings but within or near to the thin E ring
