These Hubble Space Telescope images, taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys, reveal Pluto, its large moon Charon, and the planet's two new
putative satellites. In the short-exposure image [left], taken June 11,
2002, the candidate moons cannot be seen. They do, however, appear in the middle and right-hand images where longer exposure times were used. Credit: NASA, ESA, H. Weaver (JHU/APL), A. Stern (SwRI), and the Hubble Space Telescope Pluto Companion Search Team |
