Pluto has a new moon

[Human No More]

I still say Pluto is a planet, damn it!

*marches around the IAU with a picket sign*

I'll join you there

Seems just as they decide to screw Pluto over, it gets so much more interesting.

Pluto cannot be a planet for two reasons:

• Its orbit is very irregular.
  
• Pluto is too small.

If a meteorite makes its orbit regular, Pluto will not be bigger.

Pluto isn't a planet, it will be like that.

If Pluto is a planet, then so is Eris.  (IIRC.)

The 4th and the 5th moon to Pluto, P4 and P5, have got official names


P4 has now been named Vulcan, from the planet Vulcan in Star Trek.
P5 has been named Cerberus, which is from the Mass Effect franchise, or it might also been named after a planet in Star Trek.

True. I'd call it Atomfridge.

Oh well, I rediscovered this thread.

Cerberus wins!

This fit here very good: Pluto's both moons has been named in Kerberos and Styx.

  Cerberus is the name of the seven headed dog that Guards the Gates of Hell. Doesn't anyone READ anymore??

[Clarke]

I thought it only had 3...

[Tìtstewan]

Cerberus has 3 heads.
Hydra has 7 heads, I think.
