Two moons of Saturn that were discovered last year, along with a
tentative third, have been given provisional names. The two
confirmed moons, discovered by Sebastien Charnoz at the
University of Paris, have been named Methone and Pallene. The
third, Polydeuces, was spotted by Professor Carl Murray at Queen
Mary, University of London. All the new moons have been spotted
using images taken by the Cassini mission. This brings the total
number of confirmed moons for Saturn up to 33.
