Pluto’s Smaller Moons Spin Like Crazy Tops

Pluto’s four smaller moons: Styx, Nix, Kerberos and Hydra, are each 20 to about 50 times smaller than the largest moon, Charon.

These smaller moons aren’t round like Charon, and unlike pretty much every other moon in the solar system, they are not in synchronous rotation with their host planet – they don’t always show one face to their host.
