Moons of Pluto moons orbit Pluto at two to four times the distance of Charon, ranging from Styx at 42,700 kilometres to Hydra at 64,800 kilometres from the barycenter of the system. They have nearly circular prograde orbits in the same orbital plane as Charon. All are much smaller than Charon. Nix and Hydra, the two larger, are roughly 42 and 55 kilometers on their longest axis respectively, and Styx and Kerberos are 7 and 12 kilometers respectively. All four are irregularly shaped. The Pluto system is highly compact and largely empty. Moons could potentially orbit Pluto at up to 53% (or 69%,
Eris (dwarf planet) by a spacecraft. Eris was measured to be in diameter. Eris's mass is about 0.27% of the Earth mass, about 27% more than dwarf planet Pluto, although Pluto is slightly larger by volume. Eris is a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) and a member of a high-eccentricity population known as the scattered disk. It has one known moon, Dysnomia. , its distance from the Sun was , roughly three times that of Pluto. With the exception of some long-period comets, until was discovered on December 17, 2018, Eris and Dysnomia were the most distant known natural objects in the Solar System. Because
