According to Dawn (who ought to know) the descent to the next mapping orbit is beginning now.
"NASA_Dawn NASA's Dawn Mission I'm done with Survey science operations today!! Time for a several-week transfer down to High Altitude Mapping Orbit (HAMO)!! 20 hours ago" Better pics on the way! Thanks, Dawn team, for the pictures so far. Will we learn of any preliminary nomenclature soon? Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Several of the recent images can be joined to make a rough mosaic - the first one (left end) in its raw form and the rest distorted to fit it, very uncontrolled.

Phil Hi Phil, First of all, great job at mosaicking. Second, I just would like to point out that the dark patch south east of the snowman (and including part of the middle crater) are the region formerly known as Olbers. This is the kind of surprises the Vesta holds for us. We hope to see these mysteries resolved soon! Regards -------------------- |
