New image:
http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/images...tml?id=PIA19564 Three of the craters may show signs of subsidence in their centers: I wonder if the center of spot 5 crater has similar features. Plus, the crater in the right of the image has scattered bright spots. These are associated with the darkish area known as Piazzi. |
