Given how limited data is, it is comforting to see that both HST maps and the mutual event maps have a lot of common features. I really wonder what that big dark region is.

I really wonder what that big dark region is. I suppose the leading candidates would be either an impact basin (less exciting) or something like Galileo Regio on Ganymede -- a large geographical province surrounded by areas altered once, in the distant past, by tectonism. The fact that Pluto is tidally locked onto Charon means that there was some tidal heat at some time -- maybe enough to ganymedize it? That would be exciting. Least exciting would be if the light areas are ray systems and the dark areas are lack of ray systems. |

What if it is material spewed out from a geyser like on Triton, which leaves dark markings on the surface. -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |
