Haron (satelit)
Haron, također imenovan kao (134340) Pluto I,[1] je najveći satelit od pet poznatih mjeseca patuljaste planete Pluton. Otkriven je 1978. sa United States Naval Observatory u Washington, DC, korištenjem fotografskih ploča snimljenih u United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station (NOFS). To je veoma veliki mjesec u poređenju sa njegovim matičnim tijelom, Plutonom. Njegov gravitacioni uticaj je takav da baricentar sistema Pluton – Haron leži izvan Plutona.
