Keywords: Pluto System (french).jpg These Hubble Space Telescope images taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys reveal Pluto its large moon Charon and the planet's two new putative satellites In the short-exposure image left taken June 11 2002 the candidate moons cannot be seen They do however appear in the middle and right-hand images Longer exposure times were used to take these images Pluto and Charon are overexposed in these images causing the bright streaks or blooms that emerge vertically from them The candidate moons are not overexposed because they are thousands of times less bright than Pluto and Charon In these unprocessed images various optical artifacts of the Advanced Camera for Surveys system are visible such as the radial spokes of light caused by the telescope's optics The enhanced-color images of Pluto and Charon were constructed by combining images taken in filters near 475 nanometers blue and 555 nanometers green-yellow The images of the new satellites were taken in a single filter centered near 606 nanometers yellow so no color information is available for them Images du système plutonien par le télescope spatial Hubble http //imgsrc hubblesite org/hu/db/2005/19/images/f/formats/web_print jpg 2010-04-19 NASA user Medium69/old PD-USGov-NASA cc-by-sa-2 0-fr <gallery> Image Pluto System dumb version jpg dumb version Image Pluto System jpg en </gallery> Moons of Pluto Diagrams in French Old version of an images by Medium69
