On Pluto, the large moon Charon, just 17,000 km overhead, would appear nearly twice the size of our moon on Earth. However, Pluto and Charon are "tidally locked" so that each keeps the same face towad the other as they co-rotate. So Charon is only visible from one side of Pluto, and only that same side of Pluto is visible from Charon. The other four Pluto moons would be difficult to see without a telescope, since they are small and orbiting three and four times as distant.
