A moon or natural satellite is a celestial body that orbits a planet, dwarf planet, or an asteroid. Several reasons motivate discovering and studying moons of planetary bodies. In this case study we learn how astronomers search for moons of planetary bodies or perform satellite search. In particular, we look for moons of Pluto using Hubble Space Telescope's data. The Web extra contains four image files, as mentioned in the article. |
