12. Does Pluto have moons and, if so, how many? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Until very recently we thought Pluto had only one moon, Charon, which is about half the size of Pluto itself—pretty big for a moon. But recently we've discovered two other moons, orbiting Pluto a little bit further away than Charon. They are much smaller than Charon, maybe 30 to 100 miles across, and we don't know much about them yet.
