Now this is an interesting discovery.
The newfound moons orbit about 27,000 miles (44,000 kilometers) from Pluto, more than twice as far as Charon, Pluto's other satellite. They are 5,000 times dimmer than Charon.
Right now they are named S/2005 P1 and S/2005 P2. They should think about calling one Cerberus after the guardian dog of the underworld and the other should be Persephone the Queen of the Underworld who Pluto abducted.
