TL;DR Summary

Saturn has overtaken Jupiter as the planet with the most confirmed moons in the solar system, with a total of 117 compared to Jupiter's 95. However, the definition of a moon is not straightforward, and there are still many candidate moons waiting to be confirmed for both planets. The rivalry between Saturn and Jupiter is expected to continue, with more moons of Saturn likely to be confirmed in the coming days.
