Notes eedit

  1. This image wis taken bi the Dawn spacecraft on 2 Mey 2015, during a "rotation chairacterisation" orbit, 13,642 kilometre (8,477 mi) abuin the surface o Ceres. Veesible at centre an centre richt are twa bricht spots, a phenomenon common on Ceres, in Oxo an Haulani craters respectively. Ahuna Mons is an aa veesible in the image as a noticeable, bluff hill, seen juist richt o bottom.
