Dawn XMO2 Image 21, JPL/NASA images
Summary
This scene from Ceres features terrain near the rim of the large crater named Kerwan, at lower left. At 174 miles (280 kilometers) in diameter, Kerwan is the largest crater that Dawn has discovered on Ceres. A much smaller, fresher crater called Cacaguat is seen in the lower right corner. Cacaguat, named for the Nicaraguan god of cacao, is 8.5 miles (13.6 kilometers) in diameter. 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/PIA21241
