Would Hadeograpy be a word?

If the study of Mars' surface is "Areography"; do you think the study of Pluto's surface should be called "Hadeography"?

I'm not suggesting to change the title of this article; I just want to see what people think and perhaps discuss things if someone would like. IapetusCallistus (talk) 23:01, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If there were a word for the geography of Pluto that's probably what it would be, but it doesn't appear in any dictionaries or scientific papers, and it isn't Wikipedia's place to invent new words. Dan Bloch (talk) 23:24, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I wish the IAU will adopt such words officially, like Hermography for Mercury. But yea, just a minor thing. IapetusCallistus (talk) 15:03, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
