Nope, not Saturn's moons. [With your great start, I doubt we will need 20]questions.

[History note: It seems that Galileo did suspect the parabolic lobes on either side of the circle of Saturn to be moons. Thus, he was able to accurately predict years in advance as their coming and going. Others thought it might be the perihelion/aphelion effects.]
