They should call that prominent crater chain (if that's what it is) at
the
left of the image "Frosty". :-)

Also, the video link provided a few minutes ago shows just how oblate a
spheroid Vesta is! --Rob

Jaw dropping ... how many more times in our lifetimes will be see a
large solar system object like this (maybe only Ceres, Pluto and
Charon, if all goes well)

Kindest wishes

PS can anyone tell me the name of that movie which had a male southern
US narrator telling a story, can't remember if it was a Bonnie and
Clyde type, perhaps bootlegging movie set a few decades ago in the
hinterlands, but the narrator spoke of the full moon almost poetically
and compared it to life ... how many times will you see a full moon,
how few they really are; something like that. Its delivery made a
great impression on me I never shook since I saw it with my Dad.
