This picture shows craters in the northern hemisphere of Ceres. The large crater at lower left displays several bright streaks on its walls.

The view is centered at approximately 36 degrees north latitude, 332 degrees east longitude. NASA's Dawn spacecraft took this image on April 17, 2016, from its low-altitude mapping orbit, at a distance of about 240 miles (385 kilometers) above the surface. The image resolution is 120 feet (35 meters) per pixel.

Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK, Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft.
