  1. Saturn, with two small moons, as photographed by Voyager 2. 1979 – Far-out voyages The twin Voyagers begin landmark observations of the outer planets that last until 1989. The two spacecraft discover a total of 22 new satellites — three at Jupiter, three at Saturn, 10 at Uranus and six at Neptune — and send back stunning space images and revelations about the moons.

  2. Researchers spot more moons around Jupiter by tracking the motion of objects with a high-powered telescope. Year 2000: More moons Powerful electronic imagers integrated into ground-based telescopes on Earth in the late 1990s yield rich returns in the search for more extraterrestrial moons. Researchers find 11 new moons around Jupiter and 12 moons circling Saturn.
