This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft of asteroid Vesta shows Rubria and Occia craters. Both Rubria and Occia contain dark and bright material and both have reasonably sharp, well-defined and regularly shaped rims.

This mosaic of the surface of asteroid Vesta was made from images obtained by NASA Dawn spacecraft while the area was entirely in the sun shadow. Light reflecting off of other areas of Vesta provides the only illumination.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft of asteroid Vesta shows Octavia crater, located in Vesta Marcia quadrangle, just south of Vesta equator. Octavia rim is fresher on the right side and more degraded on the left side.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of dark patches and stripes on crater walls on asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on August 18, 2011. The image has a resolution of about 260 meters per pixel.
Ver en NASA ↗This image of asteroid Vesta from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows a region of the surface that is rather smooth in appearance which is located in Vesta Marcia quadrangle, near the Vestan equator.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of craters with bright features on asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on August 18, 2011. The image has a resolution of about 260 meters per pixel.
Ver en NASA ↗These images are located in Vesta Rheasilvia quadrangle, near asteroid Vesta south pole. NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained the apparent brightness image with its framing camera on Oct. 22, 2011.
Ver en NASA ↗The low sun elevation in this image of NASA Dawn spacecraft of asteroid Vesta enhances small topographic details near the rim of the large crater, part of which is visible in the bottom left of the image.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta Urbinia quadrangle, in Vesta southern hemisphere. Rays of bright material surround Canuleia crater and rays of dark material extend from the top part of Sossia crater.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta Floronia quadrangle, in Vesta northern hemisphere. There are fine-scale streaks of dark and bright material originating from just underneath Licinia scalloped rim.
Ver en NASA ↗This image shows that NASA Dawn mission detected abundances of hydrogen in a wide swath around the equator of the giant asteroid Vesta. The hydrogen probably exists in the form of hydroxyl or water bound to minerals in Vesta surface.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of the giant asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on Aug. 26, 2011. The detail in this image shows a steep scarp with landslides and vertical craters in the scarp wall.
Ver en NASA ↗This image mosaic of Vesta south pole is generated from dozens of individual images from the framing camera aboard NASA Dawn spacecraft. This view is centered on the asteroid south pole, which is surrounded by several large impact craters.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of a dark band on asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on August 19, 2011. The image has a resolution of about 260 meters per pixel.
Ver en NASA ↗This set of images from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows topography of the southern hemisphere of the giant asteroid Vesta and a map of Vesta gravity variations that have been adjusted to account for Vesta shape.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft is dominated by a wide, young, fresh crater on asteroid Vesta. Surrounding this crater is its ejecta blanket, a covering of small particles that were thrown out during the impact that formed the crater.
Ver en NASA ↗Evidence for this possible belt was discovered by NASA Spitzer Space Telescope when it spotted warm dust around the star, presumably from asteroids smashing together. This is an artist concept.
Ver en NASA ↗This frame from a movie shows the progression of NASA NEOWISE survey in the mission first year following its restart in December 2013. Each dot represents an asteroid or comet that the mission observed.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of various craters on asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on August 19, 2011. The image has a resolution of about 260 meters per pixel.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows a very shadowed region in Vesta northern hemisphere. Roughly the upper one third of asteroid Vesta northern hemisphere is currently in shadow.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows a part of the surface of asteroid Vesta, which is mantled covered by an ejecta blanket, evident as smoothly textured surface visible across the image.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist lithograph features general information, significant dates, and interesting facts on the back about asteroid Vesta and dwarf planet Ceres and is part of the Mission Art series from NASA Dawn mission.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows areas of dark material which are both associated with impact craters and between these craters on asteroid Vesta. Dark material is seen cropping out of the rims and sides of the larger craters.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft show Oppia crater on asteroid Vesta, after which Oppia quadrangle is named. Oppia crater is a distinctive crater because it has an unusually shaped rim, which is almost rectangular in form.
