This image shows Attis Crater on Ceres, which measures 14 miles (22 kilometers) in diameter. The long shadows in and around the crater reflect Attis's far-southern location. The crater is centered at 73 degrees south, 257 east.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft spotted Attis from its low-altitude mapping orbit, at a distance of about 240 miles (385 kilometers) above the surface. The image resolution is 120 feet (35 meters) per pixel. The image was taken on March 8, 2016.
