[漢羅] 冥衛一 Charon：冥王星 ê 衛星

這張懸解析度景色，是北極區內底一个烏暗 koh 神祕 ê 所在，有一寡人 kā 叫做 Mordor Macula。 冥衛一 Charon 是 冥王星上大粒 ê 衛星，這張 Charon ê 肖像 是新視野號太空船 tī 2015 年 7 月 14 ê 時陣飛到 Charon 上倚彼陣翕–ê。 處理過 ê 藍色、紅色、紅外線組合資料，是欲加強色彩 kah 追蹤 Charon 表面特性 ê 變化。 資料 ê 解析度差不多是 2.9 公里。 這張 hŏng 讚嘆 ê Charon 影像是面對冥王星彼半球。 相片有照著一條足清楚 ê 溝仔，是 踅 Charon 一輾 ê 斷層 kah 山谷，看起來敢若欲 kā 南半球 較平 ê 平原 kah 北半球 多變 ê 地形 分做兩爿。 Charon ê 直徑是 1214 公里。 這差不多是地球寸尺 ê 1/10，毋過是 冥王星 直徑 ê 一半大，所以伊就變做是太陽系內底，相對行星來講，上大粒 ê 衛星。 是講，tī 倒爿頂懸彼張解析度無啥好 ê 望遠鏡負片插入圖內底，這粒衛星就出現 tī 冥王星盤面 1 點鐘方噗出來 ê 細塊烏影。 就是因為按呢，Charon 才會 tī 1978 年 6 月 去予 James Christy kah Robert Harrington tiàm Flagstaff ê 美國海軍天文台發現著。

[English] Charon: Moon of Pluto

A darkened and mysterious north polar region known to some as Mordor Macula caps this premier high-resolution view. The portrait of Charon, Pluto’s largest moon, was captured by New Horizons near the spacecraft’s closest approach on July 14, 2015. The combined blue, red, and infrared data was processed to enhance colors and follow variations in Charon’s surface properties with a resolution of about 2.9 kilometers (1.8 miles). A stunning image of Charon’s Pluto-facing hemisphere, it also features a clear view of an apparently moon-girdling belt of fractures and canyons that seems to separate smooth southern plains from varied northern terrain. Charon is 1,214 kilometers (754 miles) across. That’s about 1/10th the size of planet Earth but a whopping 1/2 the diameter of Pluto itself, and makes it the largest satellite relative to its parent body in the Solar System. Still, the moon appears as a small bump at about the 1 o’clock position on Pluto’s disk in the grainy, negative, telescopic picture inset at upper left. That view was used by James Christy and Robert Harrington at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Flagstaff to discover Charon in June of 1978.
