Dwarf planet Ceres is the largest object in the Solar System’s main asteroid belt, with a diameter of about 950 kilometers (590 miles). Ceres is seen here in approximately true color, based on image data from the Dawn spacecraft recorded on May 4, 2015. On that date, Dawn’s orbit stood 13,642 kilometers above the surface of the small world. Two of Ceres’ famous mysterious bright spots at Oxo crater and Haulani crater are near center and center right of this view. Casting a telltale shadow at the bottom is Ceres’ cone-shaped, lonely mountain Ahuna Mons. Presently some 385 kilometers above the Cerean surface, the ion-propelled Dawn spacecraft is now returning images from its closest mapping orbit.

矮行星 Ceres 係太陽系主小行星帶中最大嘅天體，直徑約 950 公里（590 英里）。呢幅圖係根據 Dawn 太空船於 2015 年 5 月 4 日錄得嘅影像數據，顯示嘅大約係真實顏色。當日，Dawn 嘅軌道高度距離呢個小世界約 13,642 公里。Ceres 嘅兩個著名神秘明亮點，分別位於 Oxo 隕石坑和 Haulani 隕石坑，喺呢幅圖嘅中心和中心右邊附近。喺底部，Ceres 嘅喇叭形孤獨山 Ahuna Mons 投下咗一條明顯嘅影子。目前，Dawn 太空船距離 Ceres 嘅表面約 385 公里，正從佢最近嘅映射軌道返回影像。
