Vesta's northern hemisphere contains more craters than its southern hemisphere, indicating an older surface. Three craters, about 40 miles, 30 miles, and 14 miles wide, join at the rim to form a feature that looks like a snowman.
Troughs and bulges around Vesta's equator were caused by one of the large collisions in the southern hemisphere.
