Three new moons discovered around Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft have been given provisional names.
The discoveries were made last year, not long after Cassini had arrived in orbit around the ringed planet.
Two moons detected in August have been given the names Methone and Pallene, while another found in October has been provisionally named Polydeuces.
Three more candidate objects are still awaiting confirmation as moons.
