Burney, sometimes referred to as the Burney basin,[4][5] is the second-largest known impact basin on the dwarf planet Pluto. With a diameter of over 290 kilometers and possibly up to 350 kilometers, it is the second-largest known impact basin on Pluto, after the Sputnik Planitia basin. Burney is the only impact basin with visible multiple rings known on Pluto and is thus classified as a multi-ringed impact basin,[a] though its rings have been heavily eroded due to Burney's age.
