The steep-walled crater is approximately 19 miles 30 kilometers in diameter, and was named for the Roman goddess of food and nourishment. Dawn took this image from its low-altitude mapping orbit (LAMO), at an approximate altitude of 240 miles (385 kilometers) above Ceres. The image resolution is 120 feet (35 meters) per pixel. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20195
