A new video shot by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft depicts a dappled, variegated surface of the giant asteroid Vesta.   

The animation layers high-resolution false color images over a 3D model of the Vesta terrain constructed from Dawn's observations.  

  This visualization enables a detailed view of the variation in the material properties of Vesta in the context of its topography.

Thanks. It is false color of course, but it helps fill my science craving.
