Description: Burney basin is a multi-ringed impact basin on the dwarf planet Pluto. It is heavily degraded and overlain by several smaller craters, indicating that it is ancient and has suffered significant erosion over billions of years. This degradation also makes it difficult to discern Burney's structure, though it appears to have between two and four distinct rings.
