New photos of the dwarf planet Ceres show off the intricate details of craters that dot the surface of the cosmic body.
NASA’s Dawn spacecraft took these new pictures of Ceres — the largest object in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars — at the end of December, when it just 240 miles from the dwarf planet’s surface.
“Everywhere we look in these new low-altitude observations, we see amazing landforms that speak to the unique character of this most amazing world,” said Chris Russell, principal investigator for Dawn, in a statement.
