This image, one of the first obtained by NASA's Dawn Spacecraft in its low altitude mapping orbit, shows part of the Rim of a (relatively) fresh Unnamed Crater. The Terrain shown here is located in an area known as the Heavily Cratered Terrain in the Northern Hemisphere of 4-Vesta.
The image, taken by Dawn's framing camera, is centered at around 17° North Latitude and 77° East Longitude. It was obtained on Dec. 13, 2011, from an altitude of approx. 119 miles (about 191 Km). It covers an area of about 11 by 11 miles (such as approx. 18 by 18 Km).
