GEOLOGICAL MAPPING OF PLUTO AND CHARON USING NEW HORIZONS DATA
Pluto and Charon exhibit strikingly different surface appearances, despite their similar densities and presumed bulk compositions. Systematic mapping has revealed that much of Pluto’s surface can be attributed to surface-atmosphere interactions and the mobilization of volatile ices by insolation. Ma...
