Charon's color palette is not as diverse as Pluto's; most striking is the reddish north (top) polar region, informally named Mordor Macula, as seen by NASA's New Horizons. The spacecraft captured this high-resolution enhanced color view of Charon, Pluto's largest moon, just before closest approach on July 14, 2015. The image combines blue, red, and infrared images taken by the spacecraft's Ralph/Multispectral Visual Imaging Camera (MVIC); the colors are processed to best highlight the variation of surface properties across Charon.New Horizons conducted a six-month-long reconnaissance flyby stu Stock Photohttps://www.alamy.com/licenses-and-pricing/?v=1https://www.alamy.com/charons-color-palette-is-not-as-diverse-as-plutos-most-striking-is-the-reddish-north-top-polar-region-informally-named-mordor-macula-as-seen-by-nasas-new-horizons-the-spacecraft-captured-this-high-resolution-enhanced-color-view-of-charon-plutos-largest-moon-just-before-closest-approach-on-july-14-2015-the-image-combines-blue-red-and-infrared-images-taken-by-the-spacecrafts-ralphmultispectral-visual-imaging-camera-mvic-the-colors-are-processed-to-best-highlight-the-variation-of-surface-properties-across-charonnew-horizons-conducted-a-six-month-long-reconnaissance-flyby-stu-image558132679.html
