Virtual Flight Over Asteroid Vesta

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

NASA's Dawn mission provided images and height data of the asteroid Vesta. Animators used this data to create a virtual flight over its surface. The video explores features like the Divalia Fossa, a pair of parallel troughs, and the 60-kilometer Marcia Crater. This virtual journey allows us to experience Vesta's rugged terrain as if we were flying alongside the Dawn spacecraft.
