Astronomers have discovered 12 new moons around Jupiter, putting the total count at a record-breaking 92.
That's more than any other planet in our solar system. Saturn, the one-time leader, comes in a close second with 83 confirmed moons.
The 12 new moons around Jupiter were discovered by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
These newest moons range in size from 0.6 miles to 2 miles (1 kilometer to 3 kilometers).
For the record, Uranus has 27 confirmed moons, Neptune 14, Mars two and Earth one. Venus and Mercury come up empty.
The Jovian system is now a mini solar system in itself with these 92 moons.
Jupiter's newly discovered moons have yet to be named.
