BuzzFeed have gotten their hands on how the NH team plans to name features on both Pluto and Charon: http://www.buzzfeed.com/alexkasprak/the-vader-crater
The names give some clues for how the science team is interpreting things: you find things named fossa, vallis, cavus, rupes, dorsa and linea - all on Pluto. EDIT: The maps on the mission website: Pluto Sputnik plain and surroundings Charon This post has been edited by Habukaz: Dec 20 2015, 09:11 PM -------------------- |

Hello folks. I've been a lurker for some time now, but I can't resist plugging myself in this thread.
For some time now, I've been using 3d printing to make little astronomical globes, particularly of the most rarely found as a physical globes objects of the solar system. So for example, here's my Pluto & Charon to scale! If you'd be interested in this sort of stuff you can find Pluto here: http://shpws.me/J6Ik And generally all my stuff here: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/yo3d I also make custom models and sets which can be of any size between 10-200m. So if you'd like something specific, or making use of a particular map I can upload a model and give you a private link to it! |
