Vesta

"NASA's Dawn spacecraft obtained this image of the giant asteriod Vesta
with its framing camera on July 24, 2011. It was taken from a distance
of about 3,200 miles. Dawn entered orbit around Vesta on July 15, and will
spend a year orbiting the body. After that, the next stop on its itinerary
will be an encounter with the dwarf planet Ceres."
