From its second extended-mission science orbit (or XMO2), at a distance of about 920 miles (1,480 kilometers) above the surface of Ceres, NASA's Dawn spacecraft spied Azacca Crater. The rim of Azacca (31 miles, 50 kilometers wide) has terraces descending from its rim down to its floor. The crater's floor is relatively free of large impact scars, and displays a prominent set of north-south trending fractures. Dawn took this image on Oct. 18, 2016. The image resolution is about 460 feet (140 meters) per pixel. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA21226
