Dawn spacecraft, artwork C016 / 3070
Dawn spacecraft, artwork. NASAs Dawn spacecraft is a robotic space probe designed to travel to the asteroid belt (between Mars and Jupiter) and study the minor planet Ceres (upper right) and the asteroid Vesta(lower left), the two largest bodies in the asteroid belt. These two bodies will be studied to answer questions about their composition and formation, and the early history of the solar system. Dawn arrived at Vesta in July 2011, and is scheduled to reach Ceres in February 2015

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Dawn spacecraft, a groundbreaking creation by NASA. Designed to traverse the vastness of space, this robotic probe embarked on an awe-inspiring mission to explore the asteroid belt situated between Mars and Jupiter. With its primary focus on studying two prominent celestial bodies within this belt, namely Ceres and Vesta, Dawn aims to unravel profound mysteries surrounding their composition, formation, and shed light on the early history of our solar system. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of scientific exploration as it depicts Dawn against a backdrop adorned with Ceres in the upper right corner and Vesta in the lower left corner. These colossal entities serve as gateways into understanding our cosmic origins. Having arrived at Vesta in July 2011 after an arduous journey through space, Dawn is now poised to reach its next destination – Ceres – come February 2015. This monumental feat will undoubtedly mark another significant milestone for humanity's quest for knowledge beyond Earth's boundaries. With cutting-edge technology at its core and driven by relentless curiosity about our universe's secrets, Dawn represents a testament to human ingenuity and scientific prowess. As it delves deeper into uncharted territories within our solar system, this extraordinary spacecraft paves the way for future advancements in planetary science while inspiring generations yet unborn with dreams of exploring distant worlds.
