Hamilton helped confirm the shapes, sizes and unique rotations of two of Pluto's moons and the finding that no other moons appear to orbit Pluto. Did he lose Charon or just ignoring it? How about Kerberos and Hydra?

However, the bright surfaces of the two moons surprise astronomers because a variety of external processes should have darkened the surfaces of these moons over time. They don't dare consider that there hasn't been enough time.
That would be heresy.

Nix and Hydra can’t get their act together but it’s Charon’s fault? Can’t anyone take responsibility any more?

I would think that for a satellite to be considered a moon, it would have to be large enough to form a sphere. Obviously that’s not the case.
