Caption: Vesta ⚶
(formally 4 Vesta) in a
photographic mosaic that
combines some of the best views the
Dawn spacecraft (2007--2018)
took while studying Vesta
from 2011
July
to 2012 July.
The mountain at the south pole (which at 22 km is more than twice the height of
Mount Everest from base)
can be made out at the bottom of the image.
The set of three impact craters
known collectively as the "snowman" is seen at the upper left.
