3 Moons now, and there are revisionists that want to downgrade Pluto from Planet status? Shame on them!

It’s too bad the next telescope to replace Hubble is having major difficulties.

I wonder if all these ‘moons’ are actually debris from a relatively recent collision. I know that Pluto and Charon are mutually tidally locked, but I don’t know about Nix, Hydra and the new one.
