Vesta, the second-largest asteroid in the asteroid belt, has a diverse surface characterized by a mixture of ancient, heavily cratered terrain and younger, less cratered regions. Its surface features include large impact craters, such as the 460-kilometer-wide Rheasilvia, and a range of geological formations like grooves and ridges. The presence of bright spots, believed to be composed of minerals like pyroxene and possibly some hydrated materials, indicates a complex geological history. Vesta's surface is also marked by varying colors and textures, reflecting its differentiation as a protoplanet.
