This false-color image reveals the scar of a past major impact of a comet or small asteroid on Europa surface. A city-sized impact crater was viewed by NASA Galileo spacecraft.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft show Urbinia crater on asteroid Vesta. Urbinia crater is distinctive because is has an irregularly shaped rim due to the formation of other impact craters along its rim and then subsequent erosion.
Ver en NASA ↗This anaglyph shows the topography of Vesta eastern hemisphere; equatorial troughs are visible around asteroid Vesta equator and north of these troughs there are a number of highly degraded, old, large craters. You need 3-D glasses to view this image.
Ver en NASA ↗This image, one of the first obtained by NASA Dawn spacecraft in its low altitude mapping orbit, shows part of the rim of a fresh crater on the giant asteroid Vesta. The terrain is known as the Heavily Cratered Terrain in the northern hemisphere.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows a region around the asteroid Vesta equatorial troughs with two different resolutions. More details are visible in the right-hand image such as small linear grooves running roughly parallel to the troughs.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn mission reveals the creeping dawn over the north pole of the giant asteroid Vesta now that sunlight is shining over that area. The mosaic shows two large impact craters.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of the giant asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on July 24, 2011. Dawn entered orbit around Vesta on July 15, and will spend a year orbiting the body.
Ver en NASA ↗Stereo imaging, an important tool on NASA NEAR Shoemaker for geologic analysis of Eros, provides three-dimensional information on the asteroid landforms and structures. 3D glasses are necessary to view this image.
Ver en NASA ↗This artist conception shows NASA Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mapping the whole sky in infrared. The mission will unveil hundreds of thousands of asteroids, and hundreds of millions of stars and galaxies.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows a part of the heavily cratered terrain in asteroid Vesta northern hemisphere. Some of the craters have fresh, sharp rims, which suggests that they are reasonably young.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft show the 12km diameter Floronia crater on asteroid Vesta, after which Floronia quadrangle is named. Floronia crater is the middle crater in the vertical column of 3 craters.
Ver en NASA ↗This anaglyph image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows the topography of asteroid Vesta south polar region. The material at the base of the scarp right side is probably due to landsliding.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft show part of asteroid Vesta equatorial region, which contains a prominent, deep impact crater lower center of images and large troughs linear depressions.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows many linear or sinuous grooves crisscrossing the surface of asteroid Vesta. They were created when large pieces of debris grazed and scoured the surface.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn mission shows the topography of the northern and southern hemispheres of the giant asteroid Vesta, updated with pictures obtained during Dawn last look back.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Cassini spacecraft imaged the surface of Saturn moon Helene as the it flew by the moon on Jan. 31, 2011. Helene is a Trojan moon of Dione, named for the Trojan asteroids that orbit 60 degrees ahead of and behind Jupiter as it circles the Sun.
Ver en NASA ↗This image of asteroid Vesta from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows many curved ridges that are typical of Vesta southern hemisphere. This image is located in Vesta Sextilia quadrangle, in Vesta southern hemisphere.
Ver en NASA ↗These images from NASA Dawn spacecraft show Pinaria crater on asteroid Vesta, after which Pinaria quadrangle is named. Many young fresh impact craters are visible on the slumped material.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft of asteroid Vesta shows Teia crater, which is the crater with bright and dark material. There is mostly bright material in Teia crater but there is also a patch of dark material on one side.
Ver en NASA ↗NASA Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of asteroid Vesta with its framing camera on Aug. 26, 2011 at a distance of 1,700 miles 2,740 kilometers. The image has a resolution of about 260 meters per pixel.
Ver en NASA ↗This image from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows a close up of part of the rim around the crater Canuleia on the giant asteroid Vesta. Canuleia, about 6 miles 10 kilometers in diameter, is the large crater at the bottom-left of this image.
Ver en NASA ↗This map from NASA Dawn mission indicates the presence of hydrated minerals on the giant asteroid Vesta about 30 degrees north latitude, in August 2011. At the time, it was winter in Vesta northern hemisphere.
Ver en NASA ↗This anaglyph from NASA Dawn spacecraft shows three fresh craters on asteroid Vesta, which have been nicknamed the Snowman craters. You need 3D glasses to view this image.
