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 -------------------- |

16K Map of Pluto made by combining USGS map with additional areas from a map from NASA and using maps from Hubble to fill in most of the rest then a map from Lowell observatory to fill in that tiny south pole area. Color from the NASA map was overlain with extrapolation from mid latitudes for the southern hemisphere.
