Summary

Description
English: Mordor Macula is a prominent dark region, or macula, on the north pole of Pluto's largest moon Charon. Whereas most of Charon's surface is made of bare, gray water ice, Mordor Macula is covered in a material termed tholins: a tar-like mixture of various, radiation-processed organic compounds.
