This image from NASA's Dawn spacecraft shows part of Lono Crater (at bottom) within the giant Yalode impact basin on Ceres. Lono is 12 miles (20 kilometers) wide, and Yalode is 160 miles (260 kilometers) in diameter.
The image is centered at 34 degrees south latitude, 303 degrees east longitude.
Dawn took this image on June 7, 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.
