This view shows cratered terrain in the northern hemisphere of Ceres. Ikapati crater is partially cut off at the top of the scene. It appears to have flat plains in its interior that were filled by flows, and it is surrounded by smooth material and ejecta from the crater’s interior. On the crater floor are clusters of small pits, some surrounded by bright material. NASA's Dawn spacecraft took this image on Oct. 6, 2015, from an altitude of 915 miles (1,470 kilometers). It has a resolution of 450 feet (140 meters) per pixel. The image is located at 36 degrees north latitude, 43 degrees east longitude. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20127
