High-Resolution Images of Asteroids: Insights on Ceres and Main Belt Companions

Explore the detailed snapshots of asteroids like Ceres, Eugenia, Sylvia, and Camilla. Discover their unique features, colors, and surface compositions. This study resolves the disks of large main belt asteroids and highlights significant differences in their properties. High-resolution images help map the distribution of volatiles and minerals on the asteroid surfaces.
