Nostromo Chasma
Surface feature on the Plutonian moon Charon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nostromo Chasma /nɒsˈtroʊmoʊ ˈkæzmə/ is the unofficial name for a rift valley on Pluto's moon Charon. It was named after the fictional spacecraft in the science-fiction/horror film Alien, which in turn was named after the novel by Joseph Conrad.
