Hubble Discovers Fifth And Tiniest Pluto Moon
US
astronomers using the Hubble space Telescope have discovered a fifth
and tiniest moon yet orbiting the icy dwarf planet ‘Pluto’. The
mini-moon is estimated to be irregular in shape and between 10km and 25
km across. It is visible as a speck of light in Hubble images, NASA
said. The newly discovered moon, provisionally named s/2012[134340]1
until it gets a proper name, could help reveal more on how the Pluto
system came into existence and evolved ever since. Pluto’s largest moon,
charon,which is about 1000 Km across, was discovered in 1978. Hubble
observations in 2006 uncovered two additional small moons, Nix and
Hydra.
