FY9 is another name for the dwarf planet Makemake. Discovered March 31, 2005
No -- scientists have recently discovered a moon orbiting Makemake, for the moment known as MK-2. It is about 100 miles across. Ceres on the other hand has no moons.
No. Makemake was discovered too recently for us to have sent anything there. It takes years to plan such a mission and would take years for a probe to visit something as far away as Makemake. The most distant object we have visited so far is Pluto.
Of course they are "Dwarf Planets" like Pluto but: Makemake, Haumea, and Eris.
