This view from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows an older crater on Ceres that is smoothly blanketed by ejecta from the nearby, relatively young crater named Kupalo. The image is centered at 38 degrees south latitude, 178 degrees east longitude. Dawn took this image on June 1, 2016, from its low-altitude mapping orbit, at a distance of about 240 miles (385 kilometers) above the surface. The image resolution is 120 feet (35 meters) per pixel. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20932
