Una solitaria montaña de Ceres, Ahuna Mons, se ve en esta vista en perspectiva simulada. La elevación se ha exagerado por un factor de dos. La vista se hizo utilizando................enhanced-color images from NASA's Dawn misión.

Ceres' lonely mountain, Ahuna Mons, is seen in this simulated perspective view. The elevation has been exaggerated by a factor of two. The view was made using enhanced-color images from NASA's Dawn mission.

Images taken using blue (440 nanometers), green (750 nanometers) and infrared (960 nanometers) spectral filters were combined to create the view.

The spacecraft's framing camera took the images from Dawn's low-altitude mapping orbit, from an altitude of 240 miles (385 kilometers) in August 2016. The resolution of the component images is 120 feet (35 meters) per pixel.
