Abstract

New Horizons images of the illuminated nonencounter hemisphere (far side) of Charon display geomorphic features that are consistent with features observed in the highest-resolution images of the encounter hemisphere. Scarps, ridges, craters, and one area of smooth plains are identified. These features support previous hypotheses of global expansion and large-scale faulting across this icy world 2021. The Author(s). Published by the American Astronomical Society.
