Relatively young craters, with sharp crater rims and streaks of bright material, are the focus of this view of Ceres from NASA's Dawn spacecraft. The large, ancient and quite degraded crater Fluusa is seen at top center. The younger craters are Kupalo, at lower right, and Juling, to its left. Dawn took this image on Oct. 17, 2016, from its second extended-mission science orbit (XMO2), at a distance of about 920 miles (1,480 kilometers) above the surface. The image resolution is about 460 feet (140 meters) per pxel. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA21223
