الوصف: The New Horizons spacecraft provided near global observations of Pluto that far exceed the resolution of Earth-based data sets. Most Pluto New Horizons analysis hitherto has focused on the encounter hemisphere of Pluto (i.e., the antiCharon hemisphere containing Sputnik Planitia). In this work, we summarize and interpret data on the far side (i.e., the non-encounter hemisphere), providing the first integrated New Horizons overview of the far side terrains. We find strong evidence for widespread bladed deposits, evidence for an impact crater about as large as any on the near side hemisphere, evidence for complex lineations approximately antipodal to Sputnik Planitia that may be causally related, and evidence that the far side maculae are smaller and more structured than the encounter hemisphere maculae.
