Fabulous Dawn Vesta images and rotation movie!!
Even as I write this there is a press briefing taking place where the Dawn team is unveiling a whole new world. Now that Dawn's close enough, we're seeing absolutely spectacular detail, and Vesta's been revealed to have tremendous diversity across its surface. As usual it'll probably take me a while to bring together all the new information, so as a stopgap I'm going to post an awesome image and a rotation movie. You can see more images and movies here. Stay tuned for a fuller report!
