Occator crater regional mosaic

Occator crater regional mosaic
Occator crater regional mosaic Ten photos from Dawn’s first mapping cycle were combined to make this view centered on Occator crater. Because of the range of brightness, pictures with two different exposures were required to record the details of the bright regions and the rest of the crater itself, as explained last month. Eight additional pictures show the area around the crater. Occator is almost 60 miles (more than 90 kilometers) in diameter. Full image and caption. NASA / JPL-Caltech / UCLA / MPS / DLR / IDA
