Dawn XMO2 Image 17

This northern hemisphere scene from NASA's Dawn spacecraft features Ceres' Messor Crater (25 miles or 40 kilometers wide) just above center. Messor exhibits a flow feature from the collapse of the rim of an adjacent crater. A closer view of Messor can be seen at PIA20191. At the bottom center of the image is Kaikara Crater, which is 45 miles (72 kilometers) wide. Dawn took this image on Oct. 20, 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 pixel. http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA21237
