Once you have a DEM you can project it any way you like. A DEM of North America might be represented without planetary curvature, in fact it probably would be most often. This one is shown with a plane datum, the next might be done with curvature added. No problem either way. Anyone may prefer one over the other, but don't represent the other as wrong. In time we'll have everything.

The latest image releases at the Dawn site are much higher resolution - very nice indeed. And it will get even better!

True. But Oct,12 image showing boulders in the crater floor is quite "flat" and deserves an enhanced version:

Any opinions on the strange half-craters on the recent IOTDs?

Sure looks like a trough between the two.

Railway embankment between the two craters?

(Broad gauge, obviously.)

It's strange isn't it. I see areas on vesta that look like hummocky flow features -like land slide debris - covering the surface. But the half craters look younger than this debris. Could it be that this debris is varying in thickness and distribution so that the the cratering events here punched into only parts of this less consolidated stuff which partially slumped into these craters?

The differing depth of loose ejecta may come into it, the boundary of the slump in the lower crater certainly climbs the slope of the smooth wall to the south. But I think that the angle of incidence of the impact may also have an effect. The floor of the crater is not in the center.

Vesta in almost natural colors (filters centered at 440, 650 and 750 nm).
Two basic images:





English captions and 5 other versions are here.
Original "raw" images are available here.

Wow, it is very remarkable that, even in natural colors, the ejecta blanket around Oppia has an obviously different shade of gray. Congratulations, Machi, terrific images.

... and the full disk one fills in a bit more of the northern hemisphere. Here's my current coverage map of the north pole. Locations may not be very accurate at the terminator but the general appearance is clear.

Impressive, Phil!
Is grooves spiral structure real? Which is explaination?
I have impression that North pole is hiding something important but I suspect we have to wait looong time before seeing it! unsure.gif

Dilo,
We are all waiting to see what the north pole hides, and according to our calculations we should be able to see most of it by July 2012. We will keep you posted.
