NASA's Dawn spacecraft began sending back photographs of Vesta from the asteroid belt. At this NASA site you can get a full run down of the mission to this point as well as some excellent high rez pictures.
Of particular interest is this stereo image of Vesta's south polar region which is showing some extremely interesting structures from very large impacts.
Lots more good stuff to come out of the Dawn mission, this is only a small treat.
