IMAGE number
PIX4583494
Image title
Asteroide Vesta seen by the Hubble Space Telescope - Asteroid Vesta - Photo obtained in visible view of the Vesta asteroid in May 1996 by the Hubble Space Telescope. The images reveal a huge impact crater 450 km in diameter south of the asteroid; the original image is at the top left, modeled in 3D on the right. Astronomers have used the Hubble Space telescope to discover a giant impact crater on the asteroid Vesta.
Left is a Hubble Space Telescope image of the asteroid Vesta, taken in May 1996 when the asteroid was 110 million miles from Earth. The asymmetry of the asteroid and “” nub”” and the south pole is suggestive that it suffered a large impact event. Center is a color-encoded elevation map of Vesta that clearly shows the giant 285- mile diameter impact basin and “” bull 's-eye”” central peak. Right is a 3-D computer model of the asteroid Vesta synthesized from Hubble topographic data. The crater's 8-mile high central peak can clearly be seen near the pole. At the bottom an elevation map has been reconstructed and clearly shows in blue the large impact basin and its central peak (in red)
