Large Asteroid Vesta

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Hubble Space Telescope captured these images of the asteroid Vesta to help scientists refine plans for the Dawn spacecraft's visit in 2011.

Scientists constructed a video from the images that helped improve pointing instructions for Dawn during its orbit of Vesta. Analyses of Hubble images revealed a pole orientation, or tilt, of approximately four degrees more to the asteroid's east than scientists had previously thought it had.
