Dantu crater on Ceres, seen here at left, reveals structures hinting at tectonic processes that formed the dwarf planet's surface. Linear structures are spread over the crater floor. Outside the crater's rim, the occurrence of linear structures continues the in form of scarps (linear, cliff-like slopes) and ridges. Dantu's diameter is 78 miles (125 kilometers).

The image was taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft on Oct. 3, 2015, from an altitude of 915 miles (1,470 kilometers). It has a resolution of 450 feet (140 meters) per pixel. The image is located at 31 degrees north latitude, 149 degrees east longitude.
