Who discovered the moons of Saturn?

Titan the largest, was discovered in 1655 by Christiaan Huygens Tethys, Dione, Rhea and Iapetus (1672) by Giovanni Cassini Mimas and Enceladus (1789) by William Herschel Hyperion (1848) by WC Bond, GP Bond and William Lassell Phoebe (1899) by WH Pickering Janus (1966) by Audouin Dollfus Epimetheus (hypothesized about the same time, and sighted later) Helene, Telesto and Calypso (1980) by the Voyager probes Atlas, Prometheus and Pandora (1981) by Voyager spacecraft Pan (1990) from Voyager photos Methone, Pallene and Polydeuces (2004) by the Cassini mission Daphnis (2005) by Cassini scientists Anthe (2007) by Cassini scientists Aegaeon (March 2009) by Cassini scientists S/2009 S 1 (July 2009) by Cassini scientists As telescopes have improved, more and more outer moons have been discovered. From 2000 onwards, more than thirty irregular outer moons have been found, as well as twelve small outer moons in 2005. Nine more irregular outer moons were announced in 2006 Saturn's rings require at least a 150 mm diameter telescope lens to resolve and thus were not known to exist until Galileo first saw them in 1610.

He thought of them as two moons on Saturn's sides. It was not until Christian Huygens used greater telescopic magnification that this notion was refuted. Huygens also discovered Saturn's moon Titan.

Some time later Giovanni Domenico Cassini discovered four other moons: Iapetus, Rhea, Tethys, and Dione; and in 1675 also discovered the gap in the rings now known as the Cassini Division.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
