[gary]

The Sydney Morning Herald today has an article about the ion propelled NASA/JPL Dawn
spacecraft which is en route to asteroid Vesta.

The article includes the first image the spacecraft has sent back of Vesta,
currently 1.2 million km away from it. Launched in 2007, Dawn will reach Vesta in July.

After visiting Vesta, Dawn will then continue on to the asteroid Ceres.
