Dawn Mission Video Shows Vesta's Coat of Many ColorsPasadena CA (JPL) Jun 07, 2012 A new video from NASA's Dawn mission reveals the dappled, variegated surface of the giant asteroid Vesta. The animation drapes high-resolution false color images over a 3-D model of the Vesta terrain constructed from Dawn's observations. This visualization enables a detailed view of the variation in the material properties of Vesta in the context of its topography. The colors were chosen to highlight differences in surface composition that are too subtle for the human eye to see. Scientists are st ... read more |
