Summary

Description
English: PIA20874: Dawn LAMO Image 152

http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20874

This view of Ceres from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows the rim of Sintana Crater (36 miles, 58 kilometers wide). Sinatana is also seen in PIA20149, an image taken from a higher altitude earlier in Dawn's mission.

The image is centered at approximately 47 degrees south latitude, 43 degrees east longitude.

Dawn took this image on May 27, 2016, from its low-altitude mapping orbit, at a distance of about 240 miles (385 kilometers) above the surface. The image resolution is 120 feet (35 meters) per pixel.

Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK, Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.
