This view shows the southwestern rim of 106-mile-wide (170-kilometer-wide) Urvara crater on Ceres. The crater's terraced rim leads down to a generally smooth floor. In the crater's center is a prominent double peak, surrounded by rough terrain to the west and some linear, parallel grooves to the east. NASA's Dawn spacecraft obtained the image on Oct. 15, 2015, from an altitude of 915 miles (1,470 kilometers). It has a resolution of 450 feet (140 meters) per pixel. North on Ceres is up. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20134
