Vestalia Terra (/ v ɛ ˈ s t eɪ l i ə ˈ t ɛr ə /) is a large highland plateau on the giant asteroid Vesta. Situated in Vesta's eastern hemisphere, Vestalia Terra is located near the equator and hosts the tallest point on Vesta. One of the largest named features on Vesta, it contains some of the most ancient terrain known on the asteroid.
Vesta orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter, within the asteroid belt, with a period of 3.6 Earth years, [6] specifically in the inner asteroid belt, interior to the Kirkwood gap at 2.50 AU. Its orbit is moderately inclined ( i = 7.1°, compared to 7° for Mercury and 17° for Pluto ) and moderately eccentric ( e = 0.09, about the same as for ...
Veneneia / v ɛ n ɪ ˈ n iː ə / is the second-largest impact crater on asteroid 4 Vesta, at 52°S latitude. 395 kilometres (245 mi) [1] in diameter, it is 70% of the equatorial diameter of the asteroid, and one of the largest craters in the Solar System. It is at least 2 billion years old, and possibly as old as 4.2 billion years. [2]
[97] [101] In October 2012, further Dawn results were published, on the origin of anomalous dark spots and streaks on Vesta's surface, which were likely deposited by ancient asteroid impacts. [ 102 ] [ 103 ] [ 104 ] In December 2012, it was reported that Dawn had observed gullies on the surface of Vesta that were interpreted to have been eroded ...
Rheasilvia / ˌ r iː ə ˈ s ɪ l v i ə / is the largest impact crater on the asteroid Vesta. It is 505 km (314 mi) in diameter, which is 90% the diameter of Vesta itself, and is 95% the mean diameter of Vesta, 529 km (329 mi). However, the mean is affected by the crater itself.
2590 Mourão (prov. designation: 1980 kJ) is a bright Vesta asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 22 May 1980, by Belgian astronomer Henri Debehogne at ESO's La Silla Observatory in northern Chile. [1] The V-type asteroid has a rotation period of 15.6 hours ...
Purple Mountain is a core member of the Vesta family (), [3] a giant asteroid family of typically bright V-type asteroids.Vestian asteroids have a composition akin to cumulate eucrites (HED meteorites) and are thought to have originated deep within 4 Vesta's crust, possibly from the Rheasilvia crater, a large impact crater on its southern hemisphere near the South pole, formed as a result of a ...
6159 Andréseloy (prov. designation: 1991 YH) is a Vesta asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 5.3 kilometers (3.3 miles) in diameter.It was discovered on 30 December 1991, by Japanese astronomers Seiji Ueda and Hiroshi Kaneda at Kushiro Observatory on the island of Hokkaido, Japan.
