Who discoverd the 4 moons of saturn?
I think you're confusing Saturn with Jupiter. Jupiter has four major moons, Saturn has seven. Saturn's moons were disovered by three people. Titan, Saturn's largest moon, was discovered by Christiaan Huygens. Tethys, Dione, Rhea, and Iapetus were discovered by Giovanni Domenico Cassini. William Herschel discovered Mimas and Enceladus. Galileo Galilei discovered Jupiter's four major moons.
