For very large objects, with very well known orbital elements ( namely, Pluto and Charon ), diameters can be precisely measured by occultation of stars.

The name Charon is most often explained as a proper noun from χάρων ( charon ), a poetic form of χαρωπός ( charopós ), “ of keen gaze ”, referring either to fierce, flashing, or feverish eyes, or to eyes of a bluish-gray color.

In the 1st century BC., the Roman poet Virgil describes Charon in the course of Aeneas ’ s descent to the underworld ( Aeneid, Book 6 ), after the Cumaean Sibyl has directed the hero to the golden bough that will allow him to return to the world of the living:

Most accounts, including Pausanias ( 10. 28 ) and later Dante's Inferno ( 3. 78 ), associate Charon with the swamps of the river Acheron.

The Keres were daughters of Nyx, and as such the sisters of Fate ( Moirai ), Doom ( Moros ), Death and Sleep ( Thanatos and Hypnos ), Strife ( Eris ), Old Age ( Geras ), Divine Retribution ( Nemesis ), Charon, and other personifications.

Charon is a relatively large moon in comparison to its primary and also has a very close orbit.

De Grummond notes that the ferry of Charon appears only once in surviving Etruscan art, and that some Etruscan demons are equipped with oars, but they typically use them as weapons rather than in their maritime function.

* 1978 – Charon, a satellite of the dwarf planet Pluto, is discovered by American astronomer James W. Christy.

The ferryman Charon is believed to have transported the souls of the newly dead across this river into the underworld, though in the original Greek and Roman sources, as well as in Dante, it was the river Acheron that Charon plied.

** Charon, a satellite of Pluto, is discovered.

An astronomical example is Pluto's moon Charon.

* July 14 – NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is expected to fly by Pluto and Charon at 50, 000 kilometers per hour and explore the area for five months, until the distance becomes too great.

The Pluto – Charon system is unusual in that the center of mass lies in open space between the two, a characteristic sometimes associated with a double-planet system.

Usually, at any given time only the satellite is tidally locked around the larger body, but if the difference in mass between the two bodies and their physical separation is small, each may be tidally locked to the other, as is the case between Pluto and Charon.

The dwarf planet Pluto and its satellite Charon are good examples of this — Charon is only visible from one hemisphere of Pluto and vice versa.

* Charon ( Pluto is itself locked to Charon )

In Greek mythology, Charon or Kharon ( or ; Greek Χάρων ) is the ferryman of Hades who carries souls of the newly deceased across the rivers Styx and Acheron that divided the world of the living from the world of the dead.

Flashing eyes may indicate the anger or irascibility of Charon as he is often characterized in literature, but the etymology is not certain.

Charon is depicted frequently in the art of ancient Greece.

On later vases, Charon is given a more “ kindly and refined ” demeanor.

Other Latin authors also describe Charon, among them Seneca in his tragedy Hercules Furens, where Charon is described in verses 762-777 as an old man clad in foul garb, with haggard cheeks and an unkempt beard, a fierce ferryman who guides his craft with a long pole.

A coin to pay Charon for passage, usually an obolus or danake, was sometimes placed in or on the mouth of a dead person.

When the boatman tells Hercules to halt, the Greek hero uses his strength to gain passage, overpowering Charon with the boatman's own pole.

The deceased were buried with an obolus, placed in the mouth of the corpse, in order that, once a dead person's shade reached the underworld of Hades, it would be able to pay Charon for passage across the river Acheron.

Charon, also known as the ferry-man, would take the soul across the river to Hades, if the soul had gold: Upon burial, the family of the dead soul would put coins under the deceased's tongue.

The Charon zoetrope stands at 32 feet high, weighs 8 tons and features twenty rowing skeleton figures representing the mythological character, Charon, who carries souls of the newly deceased across the river Styx.

The newly-dead would be ferried across the Acheron by Charon in order to enter the Underworld.

Following Greek mythology, Charon ferries souls across this river to Hell.

Tolls are mentioned in Greek mythology where Charon the ferryman charged a toll to carry the dead across the rivers Acheron and Styx to Hades.

If the soul paid a toll, Charon ferried it across the river.

In Dante Alighieri | Dante's Inferno ( Dante ) | Inferno, Charon ( mythology ) | Charon ferries souls across the subterranean river Acheron.

In the background, the ferryman Charon rows the dead across the river in his boat.

When Dionysus arrives at the lake, Charon ferries him across.

The entry into the world of the dead reflects Greek mythology when an aged boatman ( not named in the novel, but presumably representing Charon ) ferries souls across a river to a dark, joyless realm where the many worlds ' dead are tormented by harpies.

Back on Hell and now in control of the State Security facilities, Honor's party travels across the inhospitable planet and helps the prisoners escape from Camp Charon.

The custom was explained by the myth of Charon, the ferryman who conveyed the souls of the newly dead across the water — a lake, river, or swamp — that separated the world of the living from the underworld.
