Saturn has many natural satellites. As of June 2023, Saturn has the most moons in the solar system, totaling to 146 confirmed satellites.

As with all lists, it will always remain incomplete. Please take some time to help complete the list. We will really appreciate your contribution!

Groups[]

Moonlets[]

Generally not considered moons as their numbers are in the trillions. Although if a moonlet is large enough, one can become and be classified as a satellite.

Ring Shepherds[]

In charge of keeping rings clean and sharp, these moons are generally small and unusually shaped. They orbit between the rings and create gaps.

Inner Large Satellites[]

These satellites generally orbit within the E ring.

Examples[]

Mimas
Enceladus
Dione
Tethys

Alkyonides[]

Three small moons orbit between Mimas and Enceladus: Methone, Anthe, and Pallene. Named after the Alkyonides of Greek mythology, they are some of the smallest moons in the Saturn system.

Trojan Moons[]

Trojan moons are a unique feature only observed in the Saturnian system. A trojan body orbits at either the leading L₄ or trailing L₅ Lagrange point of a much larger object, such as a large moon or planet.

Tethys has two trojan moons. They are: Telesto and Calypso.

Dione also has two. They are: Helene and Polydueces.

Outer Large Satellites[]

All of these satellites orbit beyond the E ring.

Examples[]

Rhea
Titan
Hyperion
Iapetus

Irregular[]

Small distant, retrograde satellites usually made up of moon fragments and captured asteroids.

Inuit[]

The Inuit group is made up of 13 irregular satellites that are similar enough in their distances from the planet (190–300 radii of Saturn), their orbital inclinations (45–50°) and their colors that they can be considered a group. The Inuit group is further split into three distinct subgroups at different semi-major axes, and are named after their respective largest members.

Kiviuq[]

Has five members: Kiviuq, Ijiraq, S/2005 S 4, S/2019 S 1, and S/2020 S 1.

Siarnaq[]

Has seven members: Siarnaq, Tarqeq, S/2004 S 31, S/2019 S 14. S/2020 S 3, S/2020 S 4, and S/2020 S 5.

Paaliaq[]

Has one member: itself.

Gallic[]

The Gallic group includes at least six prograde outer moons that are similar enough in their distance from the planet (200–300 radii of Saturn), their orbital inclination (35–40°) and their color that they can be considered a group.

They are: They are Albiorix, Bebhionn, Erriapus, Tarvos, S/2004 S 29, and S/2007 S 8.

The Outlier Prograde Satellites[]

These satellites of Saturn do not definitively belong to either the Inuit or Gallic groups.

They are: S/2004 S 24, S/2006 S 12, and S/2019 S 6.

Norse[]

All 100 irregular, retrograde moons of Saturn are placed into the Norse group.

They are Aegir, Angrboda, Alvaldi, Beli, Bergelmir, Bestla, Eggther, Farbauti, Fenrir, Fornjot, Geirrod, Gerd, Greip, Gridr, Gunnlod, Hati, Hyrrokkin, Jarnsaxa, Kari, Loge, Mundilfari, Narvi, Phoebe, Skathi, Skoll, Skrymir, Surtur, Suttungr, Thiazzi, Thrymr, Ymir, and 69 unnamed satellites.

The Norse group may itself consist of several smaller subgroups, such as those centered on Phoebe, Hati, Thrymr, S/2004 S 36, and Thiazzi.

The largest of the Norse moons is Phoebe, then Ymir.

Spurious[]

These satellites were supposedly discovered by astronomers but never actually found orbiting Saturn.

Name
Chiron
Themis

Hypothetical[]

In 2022, scientists of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology proposed the hypothetical former moon Chrysalis, using data from the Cassini–Huygens mission. Chrysalis would have orbited between Titan and Iapetus, but its orbit would have gradually become more eccentric until it was torn apart by Saturn. 99% of its mass would have been absorbed by Saturn, while the remaining 1% would have formed Saturn's rings.
