Where is Dawn Now? Year 2


Vesta July 24, 2011 taken from a distance of about 3,200 miles (5,200 kilometers)

So last year, right before Dragon*Con, the Dawn mission was just pulling into orbit around an asteroid named Vesta. To continue the trend I thought I'd post Dawn's status now. To update my status: I have just finished the Vesta mission and am, at this moment, slowly breaking orbit to continue to the next mission around Ceres.

I guess I really get around (get it? orbit...around? stop booing and hissing).
