Perspective View of Layered Young Crater

Via Flickr:
This image, made from data obtained by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, shows a perspective view of a layered young crater in the Rheasilvia basin at Vesta. (It is the same crater as Fig. 3.) It was created from laying images from the mission's low-altitude mapping orbit (an average of 130 miles or 210 kilometers above the surface) atop a digital terrain model.
