Or in science-talk, "candidate satellites". Hubble Space Telescope may have discovered two additional moons orbiting Pluto. The observation images were taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in May. There are no clues in the press release or news stories about why they decided to release the news now.
Hubble is still slated for retirement in 2010. There's a long discussion of its current status and likely immediate future, etc. in a September, 2005, story at space.com.
