NASA's Cassini spacecraft has spied two new moons around the satellite-rich Saturn.

The two newly spotted, faint moons are about 3 miles and 4 miles across, and roughly 200,000 kilometres from Saturn's centre.

That takes the number of Saturn's known moons stands at 33.

They are considerably smaller than the 12 mile wide moons previously discovered in Saturn's orbit.

Researchers say they will be on the lookout for even more Saturn moons, and are waiting for close-ups of the ones just found.
