http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA20122

Dantu crater on Ceres, seen here at left, reveals structures hinting at tectonic processes that formed the dwarf planet's surface. Linear structures are spread over the crater floor. Outside the crater's rim, the occurrence of linear structures continues the in form of scarps (linear, cliff-like slopes) and ridges. Dantu's diameter is 78 miles (125 kilometers).

The image was taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft on Oct. 3, 2015, from an altitude of 915 miles (1,470 kilometers). It has a resolution of 450 feet (140 meters) per pixel. The image is located at 31 degrees north latitude, 149 degrees east longitude.

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. The German Aerospace Center, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.
