astronomers estimated the diameter of Cabrera ranges from 10 to 30 kilometers, and Styx is from 7 to 20 kilometers.

Automatic space station New Horizons took a picture of the two small moons of Pluto – Styx and Cerberus. At the moment the unit is at a distance of 90 million kilometers from the dwarf planet.



Space station New Horizons downlinked images of all five satellites of the dwarf planet Pluto. Thanks to them, NASA experts will be able to learn more about poorly explored due to the removal of our little planet and space standards the mass of the moons Styx and Cerberus.



astronomers estimated the diameter of Cerberus ranges from 10 to 30 kilometers, and Styx is from 7 to 20 kilometers.

For shooting station used camera LORRI (Long Range Reconnaissance Imager) with a resolution of 5 microradian intended for obtaining of detailed pictures from long distances.

the Most distant planet of our Solar system has five moons: Charon, Hydra, ninja, Cerberus and Styx. However, due to the nature of recording on photographs can be discerned only 4 of the moon, as Charon and Pluto, it came out very overexposed.
