With this February 2006 Hubble photo, astronomers were able to confirm
their previous discovery, in May 2005, that Pluto might have two
other moons besides Charon. Pluto is the
biggest bright-white circle at the center of the picture. Charon
is the next-biggest bright-white circle. The two new moons are the
two small dots to the right of Pluto and Charon.
