CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) -- NASA's Cassini spacecraft has spied two new little moons around satellite-rich Saturn, the space agency said Monday.
Saturn's tally of known moons now stands at 33.
The images were taken by Cassini on June 1 from 10 million miles out, as it approached the ringed planet. The spacecraft entered orbit around Saturn on June 30.
The tiny "worldlet," temporarily dubbed
S/2004 S2 (in box) as it makes its way
around Saturn.
