Dawn's Ceres Rotation Characterization 2 (individual frames)
Dawn's Ceres Rotation Characterization 2 (individual frames) Dawn took 27 photos of Ceres during its Rotation Characterization 2. The images released by JPL were enlarged non-proportionally to make Ceres' disk circular; the versions here have been adjusted to return Ceres' disk to its oblate shape. Adjacent pairs of images can be viewed cross-eyed to simulate 3D. NASA / JPL / UCLA / MPS / DLR / IDA / Emily Lakdawalla
