I don't remember... Was the Charon's size mentioned in the show? Or is this from background notes or something?

I mean clearly it was crazily huge, I'm just wondering where the 9600 meters figure came from.

From what I can tell it's been put together from the shots of the Discovery travelling through the center of it. We know Discoveries size so you could calculate it. That being said the show only ever describes it as city sized

That makes sense. Although I wonder if it's also in some background info somewhere. They specify that sort of thing a lot of times.

This website puts it in at 9.6km too.

Well I'll be rewatching DSC very soon so I can definitely report back on that

Excellent. I'll be interested to know what you find out!
