| Description |
English: This southern hemisphere scene from dwarf planet Ceres encompasses parts of the craters Mondamin and Darzamat. Mondamin, which is 78 miles (126 kilometers) wide, is the large crater located in the top half of the image. Darzamat, at 57 miles (92 kilometers) wide, is at bottom-right.
Dawn took this image on Oct. 19, 2016, from its second extended-mission science orbit (XMO2), at a distance of about 920 miles (1,480 kilometers) above the surface. The image resolution is about 460 feet (140 meters) per pixel. Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK, Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, the Italian Space Agency and the Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.

 | Editors' note: The Photojournal caption erroneously identifies the crater featured prominently in the bottom right of the image as Darzamat crater. It is actually Zadeni crater according to the International Astronomical Union's Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature. The statistics for Darzamat written in the caption are correct, and are not accurate for Zadeni, which is 80.33 miles (129.28 kilometers) wide. |
