Kanehekili Fluctus [SEP] located on astronomical body
Kanehekili Fluctus
Kanehekili Fluctus is a lava flow field on Jupiter's moon, Io. This fluctus (terrain covered by outflow of liquid, used on Venus, Io and Titan) is located in the sub-Jovian hemisphere at as shown in the picture on the right. Also in the picture is the Kanehekili volcanic center located at .
This lava field covers roughly . The hotspot was detected by the Galileo Solid State Imaging experiment (SSI) on orbits by Galileo.

Daedalia Planum
Daedalia Planum is a plain on Mars located south of Arsia Mons at and appears to be relatively featureless plain with multiple lava flows and small craters. It is mostly in the Memnonia quadrangle, but parts are in Tharsis quadrangle and Phoenicis Lacus quadrangle. Modern imagery suggests that it may more accurately be called a "fluctus" rather than a "planum".
There is evidence that an ancient 4500 km-diameter impact basin formed in the Noachian epoch may be centered in Daedalia Planum.
