The image shows Claudia arrow, a tiny crater through which by definition Vesta prime meridian runs from the asteroid north pole to its south pole. This image is from NASA Dawn spacecraft.

These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta Sextilia quadrangle, in Vesta southern hemisphere. The dark rays of the small crater to the bottom right of Laelia are particularly spectacular in the right image.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows a raised mound material overlying the brighter material that makes up the floor of the south polar depression of asteroid Vesta. Many small scale craters are clear in this image.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta Gegania quadrangle, just south of Vesta equator. Rubria is the crater with dark and bright material above Divalia Fossa and Occia is the crater with bright and dark material below.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft of asteroid Vesta shows the characteristic undulating surface of Vesta southern hemisphere and many small craters, some of which make up secondary crater chains.
Ver en NASA ↗The eastern rim of this unnamed crater in Claritas Fossae is very degraded, as seen in this image from NASA Mars Odyssey, indicating that it very ancient and has been subjected to erosion and bombardment from impactors such as asteroids and comets.
Ver en NASA ↗This anaglyph shows the central complex in asteroid Vesta Rheasilvia impact basin. The central complex about two and a half times taller than Mt. Everest. You need 3-D glasses to view this image.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows a part of Vesta northern hemisphere, which is mostly in darkness. Since Dawn arrival at asteroid Vesta the sun has not illuminated Vesta most northerly latitudes.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows a relatively smooth part of asteroid Vesta surface. This smooth texture is probably due to the surface being covered in a layer of tiny dust particles.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows many fresh craters, several with bright ejecta rays, which were formed by impacts into the floor of asteroid Vesta south polar basin.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft show Claudia crater marked by an arrow and its surroundings. Claudia crater is the crater which is used to define 0° longitude on asteroid Vesta.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows many craters of different sizes and states of preservation on asteroid Vesta surface. In the top of the image there are four large, very degraded craters.
Ver en NASA ↗This map shows the distribution of dark materials throughout the southern hemisphere of the giant asteroid Vesta. The circles, diamonds, and stars show where the dark material appears in craters, spots and topographic highs.
Ver en NASA ↗This perspective view of Marcia crater on the giant asteroid Vesta shows the most spectacularly preserved example of pitted terrain, an unexpected discovery in data returned by NASA Dawn mission.
Ver en NASA ↗The crater on asteroid Vesta shown in this image from NASA Dawn spacecraft was emplaced onto the ejecta blanket of two large twin craters. Commonly, rays from impact craters are brighter than the surrounding surface.
Ver en NASA ↗This graphic shows the global distribution of craters that hit the giant asteroid Vesta, based on data from NASA Dawn mission. The yellow circles indicate craters of 2 miles or wider, with the size of the circles indicating the size of the crater.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of the giant asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on July 9, 2011. Vesta is also considered a protoplanet because it is a large body that almost became a planet.
Ver en NASA ↗This image of asteroid Vesta from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows an old, very degraded crater that is almost completely filled with regolith. Regolith is the fine-grained material that covers most of Vesta surface.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of a young and old crater at the night and day boundary on asteroid Vesta. The image has a resolution of about 260 meters per pixel.
Ver en NASA ↗The impact of an asteroid or comet several hundred million years ago left scars in the landscape that are still visible in this spaceborne radar image of an area in the Sahara Desert of northern Chad.
Ver en NASA ↗This image, one of the first obtained by NASA Dawn spacecraft in its low altitude mapping orbit, shows an area within the Rheasilvia basin in the south polar area of the giant asteroid Vesta.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows a large number of craters, formed by collisions into the surface of asteroid Vesta. The relatively large circular depressions in this image are older, heavily degraded impact craters.
Ver en NASA ↗This view of the topography of asteroid Vesta surface is composed of several images obtained with the clear filter in the framing camera on NASA Dawn spacecraft on August 6, 2011. The image has a resolution of about 260 meters per pixel.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist concept shows NASA Dawn spacecraft arriving at the dwarf planet Ceres, the most massive body in the asteroid belt. Dawn is the first mission to visit a dwarf planet.
