The Asteroid Vesta

Hey guys, please read this article.

http://www.astronomy.com/en/News-Observing/News/2011/10/New%20view%20of%20Vesta%20mountain%20from%20NASAs%20Dawn%20mission.aspx

I found this interesting article on the asteroid Vesta. It describes how the topography of a certain region of Vesta was seen to house a massive mountain. It was estimated that this mountain was three times the height of Mount Everest, which is the highest above ground peak in the world. Without this topography of Vesta, would you have believed that an asteroid could contain a mountain like figure which is three times the height of Mount Everest?

    There is no way I would have believed that this mountain could have existed. It is just an example of how much we don't know.
