Near-global view of Vesta in natural color This RGB color image of Vesta was created using the 440 and 650 nm filters from Dawn's FC camera with a synthetic image used as green image. South is down and east is right. Dawn acquired these images from a distance of ~5200 km at a resolution of ~500 m/pix. NASA / JPL / UCLA / MPS / DLR / IDA / color composite by Daniel Machácek
