New HST images have revealed the presence of a few objects orbiting about Pluto. I hesitate to use the word Moons mainly because I'd argue against Pluto being a planet and therefore by the traditional definition it can not have moons (I guess satellite will do though). Well saying that I'd quite happily take Pluto to be a planet on traditional grounds but I wouldn't on mass limits / orbital info...it is a Kuiper belt object. I guess I'm a planetary scientist now, so you have to believe me! LOL! Here is the image (much larger [here] Credit: NASA, ESA, H. Weaver (JHU/APL), A. Stern (SwRI), and the Hubble Space Telescope Pluto Companion Search Team):

Saying all that the interesting stuff can be found at [Spaceflight Now Article]
