Summary

Description
English: PIA20410: Dawn LAMO Image 55

http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20410

This view from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows an area in mid-southern latitudes on Ceres. The crater named Juling (12 miles, 20 kilometers wide) is seen at lower right. Bright material is visible along its upper walls. Several narrow fractures are visible just above and to the left of the crater's rim.

A broader view of this area can be seen in PIA20142, which was obtained earlier in Dawn's mission at Ceres, from a higher altitude.

Dawn acquired this image on Feb. 8, 2016, from its low-altitude mapping orbit, at a distance of about 240 miles (385 kilometers) from the surface. The image resolution is 120 feet (35 meters) per pixel.

Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK, Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.
