Vesta-HST.jpg (200 × 200 pixels, file size: 3 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Description
English: A NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of the asteroid Vesta, taken in May 1996 through a 673 nm red filter when the asteroid was 175 million kilometers from Earth. The asymmetry of the asteroid and "nub" and the south pole is suggestive that it suffered a large impact event. The image was digitally restored to yield an effective scale of six miles per pixel.
