Is the natural satellite of a not-a-planet-anymore still a moon?

I thought they were like, binary dwarf planets or something...

Is the natural satellite of a not-a-planet-anymore still a moon?

technically, Pluto is now categorized as "dwarf planet", so...Charon is a dwarf moon, I guess?

Some asteroids have moons as well. Moons around asteroids and dwarf planets are called "minor-planet moons"

Now I am alarmed and concerned to know what tender is lethal. And who is it lethal to? Can I spend it and it's lethal to the recipient or if I spend it it is lethal to me?

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I know what you mean, I do like their new uniforms. But I'm the opposite, I kinda like them wearing the DSC uniforms.

Fortunately, the TOS unis are said to be "new" so if DSC stays on the air long enough, they'll eventually get them.

 

[Ravenswood]

That planet in TOS was CHERON.

How many folks know that CHARON is another name for PLUTO?

Charon (the deity) is not another name for Pluto. Charon works for Pluto.

[Nyotarules]

So, we've seen five full commanders (Burnham, Saru, Reno, the Doctor and Nhan) and can infer at least one more if Reno is not the chief engineer.
What's the collective noun?

An Indecision of Commanders?

I thought Burnham, Reno, the Doctor and Nhan were Lt Commanders

 

[Vger23]

#7- Because the swagger stick can't carry Styles.

 

[Tuskin38]

I thought Burnham, Reno, the Doctor and Nhan were Lt Commanders

Nope, all full Commanders.

Well, I don't know about the doctor.
