Topographic Map of Vesta’s Surface Modeled onto Elliptical Shape
September 4, 1997 · NASA
A false-color topographic map, projected onto a model having Vesta's elliptical shape. A circular impact crater, with central peak, clearly dominates the southern hemisphere. The model has bee rotated at 90 degree intervals. The map is based on photo-analysis of Hubble Space Telescope images.
