Pluto has four small moons that the New Horizons spacecraft briefly saw in 2015. We use the images from New Horizons and the Hubble Space Telescope to try to figure out what the small moons are made of, where they came from, and what that can tell us about the process of making moons, including Earth's own Moon.
