HAMO and LAMO Images of Teia Crater

HAMO and LAMO Images of Teia Crater
Photojournal: PIA15871
Source: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA
Published: August 31, 2012

These images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta's Numisia quadrangle, just south of Vesta's equator; there is a large slump of material covering the top rim of Teia crater, which makes it appear degraded.
