Cranking up the saturation on the last image to help reveal the extent of different color units...

Ooooh. Pretty. If I could find a Christmas ornament of Vesta that looked like that like that I'd hang it on my tree. Maybe that's an idea for a future TPS fundraising product -- planetary ornaments.

If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Hey, that's a perfect use of the foldable maps (see Phobos, et al. over at rightbasicbuilding.com I've been making. Our yearly tree has an extensive solar system ornamentation already.

Trouble with normal methods of 3D manufacture is the size of the production run, and by some method, printing surface features onto the object.

Nice thing about the foldable paper approach is that color printing takes place (duh) on the flat sheet, then, cut'n'fold. (Of course if my memory serves, you EGD, will draw rabbit ears on the flat map, but they'll disappear when folded.

Now all we need is for me to get my hands on an actual model of Vesta, to capture metes and bounds. Anybody out there able to contribute?
