Dantu Crater: Ejecta

Dantu Crater: Ejecta
Dantu Crater: Ejecta The largest crater here is Dantu, 78 miles (126 kilometers) in diameter. We have seen other views of this impressive landscape, most recently here. Dawn took this picture on Sept. 24, 2015, from an altitude of 915 miles (1,470 kilometers) in its third mapping orbit. Some of the material ejected by the violent excavation of Dantu is visible in the photo of Kerwan Crater above. This scene is centered on this map at 22°N, 133°E. Full image and caption.
