Oberon
Oberon's surface is characterized by a mix of ancient, heavily cratered terrain and younger, less cratered plains, which are thought to have formed through a combination of impact erosion and cryovolcanic resurfacing. The moon also features a number of large, linear fault scarps and troughs, which suggest a history of significant tectonic activity.
At Caliban Station, Lumen scientists focus on studying Oberon's ancient cratered terrain and its younger, resurfaced plains, using advanced remote sensing techniques and surface expeditions to collect samples and analyze their chemical composition. They are particularly interested in understanding the processes that have shaped Oberon's surface over time and the potential for the moon to have supported cryovolcanic activity in the past.
