Pluto's Neighborhood Gets More Interesting

I must be off my game since I just found out that scientists have discovered two more natural satellites of Pluto. Apparently, they were sighted many months ago, but I missed that news.

In case you're wondering, they've been named Nix and Hydra.

Don't get me wrong—Earth's Moon is totally awesome. But doesn't it seem strange that the tiny icy rock called Pluto now has three moons, and the best planet in the universe only has one?
