Very little is known for certain about Pluto's moons Nix and Hydra. They were discovered in 2005 by a team using the Hubble Space Telescope. Nix and Hydra are estimated to be about 50 km in diameter. The "New Horizons" space craft was launched in January 2006. It is expected to reach Pluto some time in 2015 if nothing goes wrong, and a great deal more will be learned about Pluto and its moons when it gets there.

How many Plutos can fit in moon?
To determine how many Plutos can fit inside the Moon, we compare their volumes. The volume of Pluto is approximately 7.06 million cubic kilometers, while the Moon's volume is about 21.9 million cubic kilometers. Dividing the Moon's volume by Pluto's gives roughly 3.1, meaning around three Plutos could fit inside the Moon. However, this is a theoretical calculation that doesn't account for any practical considerations.
