Hubble finds fifth moon orbiting Pluto
"The Hubble Space Telescope has found yet
another moon orbiting what used to be the last planet in the Solar System. The moon, the fifth that's been spotted orbiting Pluto, is an irregularly shaped lump around 6 to 15 miles across and orbits in a plane 58,000 miles around the dwarf planet. It was spotted in nine images taken with the Hubble's Wide Field Camera in June and July." See: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/07...to_moon_fifth/ |
