Wow! These are awesome mosaics, especially the 36 image mosaic.
This shape is from Dr Robert Gaskell produced after the survey orbit. As i remember, this shape use the old system coordinate before the first change (Claudia as prime meridian) by Dawn Team. I made (year ago) a conversion for cmod file (I choose cmod because i think it is very easy 3d file structures to read) here: http://patzawa.perso.sfr.fr/Download/Astro...que/Mesh/Vesta/ But even with shape i have a problem to build small mosaic Vesta rotates very fast and condition of illumination change as well. This seems to be a very high quality shape model that opens up some very interesting possibilities, even though there are major gaps near the north pole for obvious reasons (the shape model is from 2011). |

Press release regarding "sinuous" gullies on Vesta:
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/dawn/new...wn20121206.html The release images are nicely accessible here, too: http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/vesta_dawn_gallery.asp All looks like it could just be dry sloughs to me, but neat nonetheless. |

New image browsing tool availible at PDS for Vesta data.
is this a beta of Emilys tool ? http://dawn.psi.edu/data/PDS-Vesta/index.html -------------------- Thomas Gold was probably right about a iceball Mars.....
