If you have a pair of red-blue anaglyph 3-D glasses handy, this image is Vesta in 3-D. There will be much investigatin' of Vesta's prominent bump. This image was taken before Dawn went into orbit around Vesta, and so there will be better. It's going to move in slowly until it's about 1600 miles off the surface of the minor planet.
Another image: The size of Vesta compared to other planetoids that have been observed close-up by space probes.
