Full Rotation movie of Asteroid Vesta
compiled from photos from the Dawn mission. The grooves running around the "equator" of the asteroid are interesting - kindof like debris may have bounced around the asteroid for huge amounts of time in low gravity gradually carving out the apparent channels.

Here's also a really nice hi-res photo
