Ripley/ˈrɪpli/ is the unofficial name given to an impact crater on Pluto's moon Charon. It is located in Charon's northern hemisphere, within the highlands of Oz Terra.[1] It is named after the heroine Ellen Ripley in the science-fiction/horror film Alien.
The floor and terrain surrounding Ripley are dark. Unlike Mordor Macula and Gallifrey Macula, however, the dark material within Ripley is not reddish-brown.[2]
