Charon (disambiguation)
Charon (moon)
Edmond Hamilton
NASA

From Ancient Greek Χάρων (Khárōn). The name of the moon was coined by American astronomer James W. Christy in 1978, in reference to a fictional moon of Pluto in a novel by Edmond Hamilton but also influenced by its similarity to Char, a pet name for Charlene, his wife's name — hence the alternative American pronunciation, which is used at NASA.

Měsíce Hydra, Nix a Styx obíhají ve vzájemné rezonanci, protože za jeden oběh Hydry oběhne Nix právě jeden a půlkrát a Styx dokonce dvakrát.

2015 June 12, Petr Lála, “Historická událost: sonda New Horizons zblízka prozkoumá záhadné Pluto”, in Technet.cz:

The moons Hydra, Nix and Styx orbit in mutual resonance, as Nix makes exactly one and half an orbit and Styx even two orbits during one orbit of Hydra.

V červnu roku 2005 byly pomocí Hubblova kosmického dalekohledu objeveny hned další dva Plutovy satelity. Ten bližší má průměr 23 až 68 km a dostal jméno Nix podle řecké bohyně tmy a noci Nyx.

2015 July 8, Pavel Gabzdyl, “Měsíční prohlídka: měsíce Pluta”, in astro.cz, Česká astronomická společnost, archived from the original on 2018-03-02:

Two more satellites of Pluto were discovered with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope in June 2005. The nearer one is between 23 and 68 km in diameter and was called Nix after the Greek goddes of darkness and night Nyx.

Nix, Hydra a podle přesvědčení vědců i Kerberos a Styx mají navíc spíš oválný než kulatý tvar, což ještě víc přispívá k jejich nepředvídatelným oběžným drahám.

2015 June 4, “Pluto a jeho měsíce jsou tak trochu splašená mini soustava”, in Česká televize:

The shape of Nix, Hydra and, as scientists are convinced, also Kerberos and Styx is more oval than round, which contributes to unpredictibility of their orbits even more.
