Fifth Moon Discovered Around Pluto


Please see http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2012/13jul_pluto5/ and What do Hydra, Nix, Charon, and P4 have in common?.

Tiny Pluto has 5 moons and maybe more will be discovered.

I suggest there are better names than P4 and P5.

Scientists suggest "all the moons are relics of a collision between Pluto and another large Kuiper Belt object billions of years ago."

Or perhaps Pluto's moons were created out of nothing 6,000 years ago by the magic Jeebus man.
