Image of the surface of Vesta obtained by Dawn Framing Camera (FC21B0010859_11293124257F1A) containing two ∼10 km craters. The crater to the southwest exhibits classic features of a fresh impact crater (sharp rim, diverse surrounding ray system). The older impact crater to the northeast exhibits more subdued features and rays have been removed by local space weathering believed to be dominated by regolith mixing and gardening.
