About 100 researchers from around the world attend a Dawn Science Team Meeting locally arranged by PSI.

Participants shared information that focused on data from the dwarf planet Ceres, where NASA’s Dawn spacecraft is currently investigating.

Three days of the gathering were spent at the Hilton El Conquistador Resort, and the final day was a mapping meeting held at PSI’s Conference Center. 

Above, attendees were offered dozens of presentations on new findings from the Dawn mission.
