Well yes Paolo, but I can't get that to accord with the Hubble rotation movie, which shows Vesta rotating around its short axis if I remember, and where the central peak of the southern crater seems to sit nicely at the south pole (like its an oblate spheroid), whereas this seems, if that lump is the central peak of the south pole crater, to suggest that Vesta is a prolate spheroid (surely not)?
Edit: Ok, I just watched the first video again, and I see what you mean, I'll wait a few more days like the rest of us! P |
