Hi, Shayla. You’re right - Pluto is no longer a planet. It is now categorized as a “Dwarf Planet,” and you can read why if you click on this link:

However, a dwarf planet can still have moons. Five of them and still counting, for Pluto!
Thanks for writing.
Seymour
Can you name some more dwarf planets and their moons? (GMS SCIENCE 6 STUDENTS ONLY PLEASE.)
