NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has sent incredible images of Pluto’s largest moon Charon back to Earth.
The latest images reveal the moon’s and violent history, according to NASA.
“Many New Horizons scientists expected Charon to be a monotonous, crater-battered world; instead, they’re finding a landscape covered with mountains, canyons, landslides, surface-color variations and more,” explained the space agency, in a statement.
The images were taken on July 14 and transmitted to Earth on Sept. 21.
Four times as long as the Grand Canyon, and twice as deep in places, the faults and canyons indicate a titanic geological upheaval in Charon’s past, according to NASA.
