random babbling

This is a blog that many people may consider to be random babbling, as this is a blog talking about stuff in science, such as chemisty, physics, biology, geology, etc. and many people think science is just random nonsense. This used to be a blog solely about physics, but I decided it should include other sciences as well.

Pluto and Charon are not alone

Pluto's moon, Charon, was discovered by an American astronomy James Christy on June 22, 1978. But these two lonely objects in the outer reaches of the solar system are not alone. Just recently this year, on May 15, the Hubble Space Telescope Pluto Companion Search Team discovered two possible moons of Pluto, currently codenamed P1 and P2. P1 has the diameter of approximately 50 to 160 kilometers, and P2 has the diameter of approximately 30 to 150 kilometers.
