This image from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows dimly lit, cratered terrain on Ceres. Bright streaks of material are visible on one section of the crater wall (at bottom), and near the top of its central peak. The image is centered at 63 degrees north latitude, 53 degrees east longitude. Dawn took this image on June 12, 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/PIA20965
