Corrosion in Light Bulb Sockets

Usually, when this happens, the cause is corrosion and road film accumulation on the contacts inside the bulb sockets.

The "fix" is to remove the bulbs, clean the contacts [both in the bulb socket, AND those on the bulb].

To reduce the recurrence of the problem, before reassembly, I apply a very small amount of WD-40 [or a similar product] on the bulb contacts, and to the interior of the socket and its contacts.

Why won't Saturn ever have more and larger moons?

There is no reason to believe that he "won't ever" have more moons. On the contrary, it is quite possible that the gas giants - like Saturn - have gravitationally captured some asteroids, converting them into their moons - and this may happen again.
