Occator Crater on the Dwarf Ceres

Generated from NASA imagery. Nasa does not make 3D models available to the public, but if you run their video footage thru AgiSoft you can recreate any terrain. This allows a citizen scientist to study and better understand this remarkable dwarf planet. Occator Crater on Ceres is home to the brightest area on the entire dwarf planet. At 57 miles (92 kilometers) wide and 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) deep, Occator displays evidence of recent geologic activity. NASA's Dawn mission found that the bright spots may have been produced by upwelling of salt-rich liquids after the impact that formed the crater.
