Pluto has at least three [[moon]]s, the largest of which is [[Charon]]. (The size of Charon is such that Pluto and Charon are often collectively considered to be a binary system.) Pluto has an elliptical orbit.  When it was considered to be a planet, it was usually the furthest from the sun, but there are times due to its odd orbit when it is closer than [[Neptune]].  Relatively little is known about Pluto. <ref>http://science.jrank.org/pages/5352/Pluto.html</ref>
