Feralia Planitia

Feralia Planitia /fəˈrliə pləˈnɪʃiə/ is the third-largest known impact crater on the asteroid Vesta, after Rheasilvia and Veneneia. It is one of several old, degraded impact basins that predate the Rheasilvia basin that now dominates Vesta. It is situated near the equator, and is 270 kilometres (170 mi) across east to west, though compressed latitudinally by the Rheasilvia impact.
