Ceres rotating back and forth in latest images from Dawn spacecraft.
I find it much easier to spot different surface details this way. -------------------- The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

Ceres rotating back and forth in latest images from Dawn spacecraft. I find it much easier to spot different surface details this way. I can't figure out if bright spot is visible in the animation. I place here the other available images for more comfortable comparisons: http://cdn.phys.org/newman/csz/news/800/20...warfplanetc.jpg http://cdn.phys.org/newman/csz/news/800/20...hisimageist.jpg https://lightsinthedark.files.wordpress.com...3/pia189231.jpg http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/images...19056_hires.jpg I don't understand if I must link them or upload them or insert them in tag so I just add the links. |
