New Satellites of Saturn . On July 26, 1995, Amanda Bosh of Lowell Observatory announced the discovery of at least two and perhaps four new satellites of Saturn . The discovery was based upon images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on May 22, 1995, when Saturn's rings were tilted edge-on to the Earth . ... The two satellites S/1995 S1 and S2 lie inside Saturn's thin, eccentric "F" ring . ... The fourth satellite S/1995 S4 is 6,000 kilometers (3,700 miles) beyond the F ring. ... S/1995 S 3 . ...
