satellites.Only discovered in 1930 because of its vast distance from Earth，Pluto has remained a largely mysterious object ever since.Some three billion miles from the Sun，Pluto，the ninth planet，is the only one not yet to have been visited by a spacecraft.Its first known satellite is called Charon.With a diameter（直径）of 1,200 km，it is half that of Plutounusually large for a moon in relation to its primary.But now，using images from the Hubble Space Telescope，scientists from Johns Hopkins University，Southwest Research Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say they have found two more tiny orbiting satellites，P1 and P2.Both are travelling outside the orbit of Charon and tiny by comparison，the scientists wrote in the journal Nature.P1，the more distant of the two from Pluto，has a diameter of between 60 and 165 km while P2 is 20 percent smaller.“Although definitive（确切的）orbits cannot be obtained，both new satellites appear to be moving in circular orbits in the same orbital plane as Charon with orbital periods of about 38 days for P1 and 25 days for P2，”they wrote.The discovery of the two new members of Plutos family makes it the only object in the Kuiper belta vast region of rock and ice beyond Neptune which contains debris（碎片）from the formation of the solar systemknown to have multiple safellites，the scientists said.1It is implied in the passage that _.ACharon was not discovered until the late 1960sBCharon is the largest satellite in the solar systemCall the inner planets are better observed than PlutoDPluto may have some more moons to be discovered2The underlined word“primary”in Paragraph 4 refers to _.AsizeBshapeCplanet DEarth3Which of the following shows the possible orbits and positions of Plutos satellites?4Which of the following is the best
