No, it is not true that Pluto has 7 satellites. Pluto actually has five known satellites which are Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra.
The New Horizons space probe was the first spacecraft to explore Pluto. The mission to the minor planet happened in 2015.
It's not in orbit around Neptune, it's in direct orbit around the sun, so is not a satellite or moon of Neptune. Although it their gravitational pulls effect each other, Pluto does not go round and round Neptune.
The New Horizons spacecraft explored Pluto. It launched in 2006 and conducted a flyby of Pluto in 2015, providing the first detailed images and data of the distant dwarf planet.
Pluto is not a planet (it's a dwarf planet)
Pluto is a dwarf planet.
The dwarf planet Pluto.
Pluto is not a satellite. It is a dwarf planet that is the furthest from our Sun.
Charon is a natural satellite of Pluto, but Pluto is a planetesimal, not a planet.
Pluto is a dwarf planet, so it is technically, it is not a planet like earth or mars.
The Hubble telescope satellite.

Are you think of Pluto? If so it remains a satellite but has been reclassified as a dwarf planet.
Yes, there is a satellite that orbits around Pluto its name is Charon. Charon is half the size of Pluto, with a diameter of 1200km. Pluto and Charon orbit each other like double planets.
Charon. It's more of a satellite than a planet, unless you want to consider Pluto/Charon as a double planet. That's a little awkward, since Pluto has been downgraded to a planetoid.
Pluto. But it's no longer a planet, so technically none
No.It is a satellite (moon) of Pluto, which itself was declared a "Dwarf Planet" at the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Symposium in 2006.Pluto is very small - only 2/3rds the size of Earth's moon. Charon is 1/2 that size - which is large enough that the IAU would have faced calling Pluto-Charon a "Double Planet" if they had decided to call Pluto one.However, IAU's decision was based upon the fact that there are MANY objects in similar orbits to Pluto's (some even larger than Pluto itself, such as Eris), and we would have ended up listing dozens (possibly hundreds) of objects as "Planets"No. Charon is not a planet; it is a moon of the dwarf planet Pluto.
