This topic will contain images & discussion of same as they arrive during the extended download period. Similar threads will be opened in coming months as required as acquired data & discussion proceeds.

It seems that the "Southern Outcrops" on Pluto are somewhat different than the "Northern Outcrops", although it might be that the Northern area is simply frostier. Krun seems to be old, eroded terrain, although southward it develops a "tiger stripe" exuded texture. With fuzzy images, it's too early to tell for certain.
And, oddly enough, Charon seems to have a similar N-S bedrock dichotomy with the added mystery of an equatorial rift zone. What odd little worlds. --Bill -------------------- |
