He was referring to the extreme closeup I posted in 2. Not the more distant one in 38.

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 complex 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 high-resolution images, which were taken on July 14 and transmitted to Earth on Sept. 21, reveal a belt of fractures and canyons just north of the moon’s equator. 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.

Besides the point about the scale being vastly different between the two images, and the field of view therefore being much tinier in the closeup, there may also be the full moon effect’ going on there, with the bright light of Charon washing out any faint/average stars that may be in that tiny field of view.
I like all this planet stuff. It’s cool. Thx for posting.
Here the petition to promote Pluto back to planetary status…
Remember you are not just helping Pluto but if it was promoted it would be a stick in the eye of atheist activist Neil Tyson’s who played a big role in demoting it.

I know him through local astronomy groups here in New York City, although it’s been years since I’ve seen and talked to him. He’s actually a pretty cool guy. Great sense of humor. Very few people in the sciences are religious. The Pluto thing doesn’t bother me too much, other than I grew up thinking of it as a planet.
