It's really just a case of them wanting to have a big press event and unveil the first pictures to the world with a flourish; "Behold! a new world -- Vesta!." It's unfortunate when egos and theatrics come ahead of science and discovery, especially when we the American taxpayers bought and paid for that craft and its images. I'll be making that point several times when I'm in Washington next month meeting with the staff of Mr. Palazzo and others.
