Subaru Telescope

Context-With the discovery of 20 more moons orbiting Saturn, the ringed planet has overtaken Jupiter as host to the most moons in the Solar system.

Saturn now has 82 known moons, whereas Jupiter has a paltry 79.
They were spotted using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii by a team led by Scott Sheppard at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC.
Subaru Telescope is an 8.2-meter optical-infrared telescope at the summit of Maunakea, Hawai?i, operated by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan
The requirements for celestial observations are that the weather is good, the humidity is low, and the night sky is dark . The summit of Mauna Kea easily satisfies all these conditions, making it nearly ideal for astronomical observing.
