Nix a Moon of Pluto
I was discovered by the Pluto Search Team in 2005
My large red impact crater showing them I am semi-alive.
I have since discovered it was June fifteenth by earth years
My image got uploaded by New Horizons, one of my fears
They named me Nix, after a Greek Goddess of the Night.
I have no qualms about this, shall stir up no argument or fight.
I am one of five moons, smack in the middle, orbiting Pluto.
Charon, Styx, Kerberos and Hydra are the others I know.
Some say I am thirty miles across, others say it is forty.
I am elongated, for a moon, I am certainly no shorty.
I was surprised to see Earthlings had advanced this far.
I did not think at this time they would reach even one star.
