This image highlights the complex central construct and concentric fractures in the large (78 miles, 126 kilometers) Dantu Crater. It was obtained by NASA's Dawn spacecraft on September 1, 2018 from an altitude of about 1335 miles (2150 kilometers). NASA announced the conclusion of Dawn's mission operations was Oct. 31, 2018, when the spacecraft depleted its hydrazine. The center of Dantu Crater is located at about 24.3 degrees north latitude and 138.2 degrees east longitude. Dantu Crater is named after the Ghanan god associated with the planting of the corn. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA22985
