Names of Jupiter's and Saturn's moons

[TriangleMan]

While searching the IAU website for updates on "what is a planet" I found a page which lists the official names for satellites of Jupiter and Saturn. Looks like Saturn now has moons with names like Kiviuq, Erriapo and Siarnaq.

I have enough trouble remembering the names of the major moons. :wink:

I used to be able to name them all....nowadays I can only recite the major moons (ie. ones discovered before 2000) and all of Jupiter's. #-o

I made a slightly more in-depth page on my site if you're interested.
