Ceres Surface Feature Names - PortalHunter - 07-29-2015
New Names and Insights at Ceres

This might help us name a few civilization centres on Ceres proper.

I have already added Rongoville to the Ceres main article. I have no idea where the placename Hamada came from in the Early Years article; possibly a very early map based on Hubble observations, but we can change it now.

Incidentally that map is public domain, so we could use it on the site directly.

Excellent. Most NASA things are, aren't they? Just a little credit is required...

Which is as it should be, given that all NASA's money comes from the public through taxes they have no choice about paying.

Ahem - not my taxes. My taxes failed dismally to put Beagle 2 on Mars.

Ceres articles now updated.

I couldn't find a labelled map of Vesta, so I added named to this topographic map, taking the names from the geological survey

Point taken. Perhaps I should have said "the American public".

Here's a really good map of Vesta, with lots of features
