It is amazing at the clarity of the images, and cannot wait until the lower orbit of Dawn to show the higher resolution photography. I still can remember how difficult it was to get a clear image of the Moon, until Ranger 7 got still images in the Summer of 1964. This was due to the Earth atmosphere, and back then spacecraft had trouble just getting there, let alone getting images back, like Ranger 6 had previously. Thanks for sharing JPL!
