An Entity of Type: crater, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Kerwan (/ˈkɜːrwən/) is the largest confirmed crater and one of the largest geological features on Ceres. It was discovered on February 19, 2015 from Dawn images as it approached Ceres. The crater is distinctly shallow for its size, and lacks a central peak. A central peak might have been destroyed by a 15-kilometer-wide crater at the center of Kerwan. The crater is likely to be young relative to the rest of Ceres's surface, as Kerwan has largely obliterated the cratering in the southern part of Vendimia Planitia.

dbo:abstract
  • Kerwan és un cràter sobre la superfície del planeta nan Ceres, situat amb el sistema de coordenades planetocèntriques a 5.91 ° de latitud nord i 141.48 ° de longitud est. Fa un diàmetre de 280 km. El nom va ser fet oficial per la UAI el tres de juliol del 2015 i fa referència a Kerwan, esperit que presideix la germinació dels grans de blat de moro de la mitologia hopi. (ca)
  • Kerwan ist der größte Einschlagkrater auf dem Zwergplaneten Ceres. Er wurde am 19. Februar 2015 auf Aufnahmen der Raumsonde Dawn während deren Annäherung an Ceres entdeckt. Sein Durchmesser beträgt 280 Kilometer. Der Name stammt von dem Geist des sprießenden Maises in der Mythologie der Hopi und wurde am 3. Juli 2015 durch die IAU offiziell bestätigt. (de)
  • Kerwan (/ˈkɜːrwən/) is the largest confirmed crater and one of the largest geological features on Ceres. It was discovered on February 19, 2015 from Dawn images as it approached Ceres. The crater is distinctly shallow for its size, and lacks a central peak. A central peak might have been destroyed by a 15-kilometer-wide crater at the center of Kerwan. The crater is likely to be young relative to the rest of Ceres's surface, as Kerwan has largely obliterated the cratering in the southern part of Vendimia Planitia. Kerwan is roughly antipodal to Ahuna Mons, the largest, or at least youngest, mountain on Ceres. Seismic energy from the Kerwan-forming impact may have focused on the opposite side of Ceres, fracturing the outer layers of the crust and facilitating the movement of high-viscosity cryomagma (consisting of muddy water ice softened by its content of salts) onto the surface. Kerwan too shows evidence of the effects of liquid water due to impact-melting of subsurface ice. The crater is named after the Hopi spirit of sprouting maize, Kerwan. The name was approved by the IAU on July 3, 2015. (en)
