Description
English: PIA20678: Dawn LAMO Image 98

http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20678

This picture shows a portion of the northeastern rim of Yalode Crater, one of the largest impact features on Ceres. Yalode has a diameter of 160 miles (260 kilometers). A set of narrow, roughly parallel fractures can be seen at top center.

A higher-altitude view of Yalode can be seen at PIA20131.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft took this image on April 17, 2016, from its low-altitude mapping orbit, at a distance of about 240 miles (385 kilometers) above the surface. The image resolution is 120 feet (35 meters) per pixel.

Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK, Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.
