Dantu is a large crater on Ceres , located within the Vendimia Planitia . It is rimmed by a number of minor faculae , which together form Bright Spot 2 .
Etymology
[ edit ]
The crater is named after Dantu , the timekeeper and first god of planting (millet ) of the Gã people of Accra, Ghana.[2]
[ edit ]
Dantu is thought to have formed +30 [3]
Physical features
[ edit ]
The walls of Dantu are quite heavily eroded, with most of the north-eastern wall having collapsed completely.[3] [3] [3]
The center of Dantu is contains a peak, with a ring complex around it.[4] pit craters surround this feature, with said pit craters largely ranging between 400 and 900 metres in diameter.[4]
