Vesta has a diameter of about 530km. The relative size of the positive mountain feature and the Roche Limit type striations (similar to Mars's captured asteroid Phoebes) are striking. Speculatively, I am wondering if the positive feature is an aggregated planetesimal and whether NASA will find that the geologic structure of Vesta is an aggregated object that has not coalesced and differentiated. - Kurt
