A photo from open sources
Dawn is getting closer to Ceres. Today, new pictures of the dwarf planet superior in quality to those received at the very end of January, as at least twice.
Scientists say this is not the limit, since space the device so far removes from a distance of 145 thousand kilometers, and only in March, he will approach the planet “almost right next to it.” It was at this time scientists plan to carefully study the landscape of Ceres, which may to have craters. At least the current photographs taken with Dawn, “hint” at this.
Note that the first photographs of Ceres, which made the device Dawn January 25, significantly surpassed the best shots of the most powerful Hubble telescope made by him at the beginning of the century. Current photos – more higher by permission. Let’s expect first-class March shooting!
