☄️ Ikapati (crater)

Ikapati is a large impact crater on Ceres, a dwarf planet located in the main asteroid belt. A central-peak crater, it is 50 kilometres (31 mi) in diameter and 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) deep. Its crater floor and rim are lower in the southwest, and large portions of the floor are covered in plains of very smooth terrain. Fractures, bright spots, and pits within the crater suggest that post-impact intrusive activity took place, modifying the crater's structure. The crater is named after Ikapati, the Philippine goddess of cultivated land. The name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) on 21 September 2015.
