Thanks Kochu. I read it on space.com yesterday too.
Apparently they managed to find it because they did a longer exposure this time round. But its amazing that Pluto had so many moons! Maybe there are more lurking in the neighbourhood.
But what is even more amazing is the moon is around 20km in diameter only and the Hubble could pick it up.
