This image, taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, shows mountainous terrain along the rim of Ikapati Crater, located in the northern hemisphere of Ceres. The scene is lightly cratered, mostly by small impacts. A variety of linear fractures are visible on both sides of the crater rim.

Dawn took this image on Jan. 25, 2016, from its low-altitude mapping orbit, at a distance of about 240 miles (385 kilometers) from 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.
