Dawn Survey Orbit Image 50

This image of Ceres, taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, features several craters with bright material within and around them. The image is centered on terrain near the equator of Ceres and faces southeast. The large crater at top, just right of center, is named Nawish for the guardian of the field of the Acoma people. The 50-mile- (80-kilometer-) wide crater's southern rim is thrown into sharp relief by shadows. The view was acquired from an altitude of 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers). The image, with a resolution of 1,400 feet (410 meters) per pixel, was taken on June 9, 2015. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19627
