This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft features the distinctive crater Canuleia on the giant asteroid Vesta. Canuleia, about 6 miles 10 kilometers in diameter, is distinguished by the rays of bright material that streak out from it.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of craters with bright features on asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on August 18, 2011. The image has a resolution of about 260 meters per pixel.
Ver en NASA ↗These images are located in Vesta Rheasilvia quadrangle, near asteroid Vesta south pole. NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained the apparent brightness image with its framing camera on Oct. 22, 2011.
Ver en NASA ↗The low sun elevation in this image of NASA Dawn spacecraft of asteroid Vesta enhances small topographic details near the rim of the large crater, part of which is visible in the bottom left of the image.
Ver en NASA ↗This map is a mosaic of images obtained by NASA Dawn framing camera during the high-altitude mapping orbit phase. This map shows the distribution of dark materials on the surface of asteroid Vesta.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this 3-D image of asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on Aug. 23 and 28, 2011 at a distance of 1,700 miles 2,740 kilometers. You will need 3D glasses to view this image.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows craters with both sharp and smooth crater rims in asteroid Vesta southern hemisphere. Detailed structure is seen more readily in the the image with a smaller view at right.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta Urbinia quadrangle, in Vesta southern hemisphere. The mottled appearance of the slump and small gullies around the fresh rim of the crater.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows impact ejecta deposits dominating asteroid Vesta landscape. This impact ejecta material was ejected from an impact crater located outside the imaged area.
Ver en NASA ↗The eastern rim of this unnamed crater in Southern Arabia Terra, imaged by NASA Mars Odyssey, is very degraded, indicating that it an ancient crater that been subjected to erosion and bombardment from impactors such as asteroids and comets.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta Lucaria Tholus quadrangle, in Vesta northern hemisphere; the fine-scale of streaks of bright and dark material can be seen originating from the rim of Publicia crater.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft of asteroid Vesta shows Serena crater, located in the Sextilia quadrangle, southern hemisphere. A mound of material is seen in the center of the crater and many small craters scattered over Serena crater.
Ver en NASA ↗Located in the Marcia quadrangle, the left-hand image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows the apparent brightness of asteroid Vesta surface. The right-hand image is based on this apparent brightness image.
Ver en NASA ↗Mars has two small, asteroid-sized moons named Phobos and Deimos. This frame from an animation shows the point of view of the rover, located near the equator of Mars, as these moons occasionally pass in front of, or transit, the disk of the sun.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist conception shows the closest known planetary system to our own, called Epsilon Eridani. Observations from NASA Spitzer Space Telescope show that the system hosts two asteroid belts.
Ver en NASA ↗A double crater, called a crater doublet, is seen in the bottom right part of this image from NASA Dawn spacecraft of asteroid Vesta. This crater doublet was likely formed by the simultaneous impact of two fragments of a split projectile.
Ver en NASA ↗This anaglyph image shows the topography of asteroid Vesta southwestern region. The large, heavily degraded subdued rimmed crater in the top right becomes clearer in this anaglyph image. You need 3D glasses to view this image.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft snapped this image during the spacecraft closest flyby of Saturn moon Helene, on March 3, 2010. Helene is a Trojan moon of Dione, named for the Trojan asteroids that orbit ahead of and behind Jupiter.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist concept illustrates an asteroid belt around the bright star Vega. Evidence for this warm ring of debris was found using NASA Spitzer Space Telescope, and the European Space Agency Herschel Space Observatory.
Ver en NASA ↗This composite image is a simulated true color image of part of asteroid Vesta northern region, which contains the nowman craters. Images such as these greatly help the process of understanding Vesta geological history.
Ver en NASA ↗This image of a dark-rayed impact crater and several dark spots was obtained by NASA Dawn spacecraft. The dark materials are located near an older, larger crater in the Sextilia quadrangle of asteroid Vesta southern hemisphere.
Ver en NASA ↗The left-hand image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows the apparent brightness of asteroid Vesta surface. The right-hand image is based on this apparent brightness image, with a color-coded height representation of the topography overlain onto it.
Ver en NASA ↗This 3D image of the asteroid Vesta was taken on July 9, 2011 by the framing camera instrument aboard NASA Dawn spacecraft. You need 3D glasses to view this image.
