The rim of a large crater called Zadeni (80 miles, 128 kilometers wide), is seen at the bottom of the image. Dawn took this image from an altitude of 915 miles (1,470 kilometers) during its High Altitude Mapping Orbit (HAMO) phase on Oct. 20, 2015. Image resolution is 450 feet (140 meters) per pixel. The scene is located in the southern hemisphere of Ceres at approximately 55 degrees south latitude, 40 degrees east longitude. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20149
