Nix
The familiar name of the Pluto's S/2005 P 1 moon discovered in May 2005 by the Hubble space telescope. It takes its name from the Greek goddess of the night Nix, the mother of Charon, the ferryman at the Styx crossing.
The Pluto system with its three moons, Charon, the closest, Nix and Hydra, the furthest.
