HAMO and LAMO Images of Cornelia Crater

HAMO and LAMO Images of Cornelia Crater
Photojournal: PIA15873
Source: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA
Published: September 5, 2012

These images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta's Numisia quadrangle, southern hemisphere; layers can be seen slumping towards the crater's center and there is slightly brighter material overlying slightly less bright material.

This movie captured by NASA'S Cassini spacecraft shows a south polar vortex, or a swirling mass of gas around the pole in the atmosphere, at Saturn’s moon Titan. The swirling mass appears to execute one full rotation in about nine hours – much faster than the moon's 16-day rotation period. The images were taken before and after a distant flyby of Titan on June 27, 2012.
