∙ 6y agoPluto has 5 known moons:
- Charon
- Hydra
- Nix
- Kerberos
- Styx
Charon is in the same size range as Pluto, while the 4 others are very small moons. Charon is the largest, named for the ferryman who takes the dead across the river.
Two others, Nix and Hydra, are much smaller. Hydra is named after the 7-headed beast that Heracles fought and defeated in Greek myth, and Nix is the formal name for the goddess of night and darkness (mother of Charon).
Kerberos was designated P4 in 2011, and Styx was located in 2012.
