On July 11, 2012, astronomers announced that a fifth moon had been discovered orbiting the dwarf planet. Researchers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope found the moon. The discovery comes almost exactly one year after Hubble spotted Pluto's fourth moon, a tiny body currently called P4.
Too small to be a planet Pluto remains in the scientific news. Only gas giant planets in our solar system have 5 or more moons, but tiny, demoted Pluto refuses to go unnoticed!
