哈勃望远镜拍摄的冥王星与其三颗卫星

冥卫三正式名称为Hydra(/ˈhdrə/ ,许德拉),是冥王星的一颗卫星

2005年5月首次被冥王星伴侣搜索团队通过哈勃太空望远镜观测到。并于同年5月15日和5月18日拍到照片;2005年5月15日观测者Max J. Mutchler经确认和预估后,于2005年10月31日公布发现卫星的消息,当时暂编号为S/2005 P1,2006年6月下旬经国际天文学联合会会议后正式命名为Hydra(许德拉),在《伊利亚特》中是守卫地狱的九头蛇,名字的概念取自2006年1月飞往冥王星的新视野号(New Horizons)探测器名字的第二个字的首字母H。

观测显示其与冥卫一(卡戎)类似,轨道半径约65,000公里,以38天周期绕冥王星运转。估计其直径在30-50公里间。许德拉(冥卫三)比冥卫二亮25%,故可能也较大。
