HAMO and LAMO Images of Fabia Crater

HAMO and LAMO Images of Fabia Crater
Photojournal: PIA16046
Source: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA
Published: August 16, 2012

These images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft are located in asteroid Vesta's Numisia quadrangle, in Vesta's northern hemisphere. The bottom part of the rim of Fabia crater is much fresher than the top part of the rim.
