Charon is turning out to be a delightfully complex and fascinating world. It has a polar crater-caldera, a system of lineations with a complex equatorial fracture system, a cratering history and a north-south dichotomy as well as seasonal frosts. Much more than the little Pluto tag-along we were thinking it was.
I am doing a presentation on the Geomorphology of Charon. As always, it is a work-in-progress, so check back: LORRI-MVIC combined imagery https://univ.smugmug.com/New-Horizons-Missi...2B%20MVIC-L.png Preliminary Geomorph of Charon https://univ.smugmug.com/New-Horizons-Missi...orph-v1.0-L.png --Bill -------------------- |
