Hydra is the outermost known
moon of Pluto. It was discovered along with
Nix in June 2005, and was visited along with Pluto by
New Horizons in July 2015. Hydra's surface is probably covered with water ice. Observed within Hydra's bright regions is a darker circular structure with a diameter of approximately 10 kilometers (5 miles). Hydra's reflectivity (the percentage of incident light reflected from the surface) is intermediate between those of Pluto and
Charon.
