Hydra (moon)

Hydra is the outermost known moon of Pluto . It was discovered along with Nix in June 2005, and was visited along with Pluto by New Horizons in July 2015. Hydra's surface is probably covered with water ice. It is irregularly shaped, and measures 50 kilometers (31 miles) along its longest dimension [5] . Hydra's reflectivity (the percentage of incident light reflected from the surface) is intermediate between those of Pluto and Charon . [6] [7]

Hydra is the outermost known moon of Pluto . It was discovered along with Nix in June 2005, and was visited along with Pluto by New Horizons in July 2015. Hydra's surface is probably covered with water ice. Observed within Hydra's bright regions is a darker circular structure with a diameter of approximately 10 kilometers (5 miles). Hydra's reflectivity (the percentage of incident light reflected from the surface) is intermediate between those of Pluto and Charon . [5] [6]

Hydra is the outer-most natural satellite of Pluto . It was discovered along with Nix in June, 2005 by the Hubble Space Telescope's Pluto Companion Search Team, which is composed of Hal A. Weaver , Alan Stern , Max J. Mutchler , Andrew J. Steffl , Marc W. Buie , William J. Merline , John R. Spencer , Eliot F. Young , and Leslie A. Young . The discovery images were taken on May 15, 2005 and May 18, 2005; the moons were independently discovered by Max J. Mutchler on June 15, 2005 and Andrew J. Steffl on August 15, 2005. The discoveries were announced on October 31, 2005, after confirmation by precoveries from 2002. The moons were provisionally designated S/2005 P 1 (Hydra) and S/2005 P 2 (Nix). [5] [6]
