Vesta "flyover" video

NASA has created a video of what it might look like to
fly around Vesta, the second largest asteroid in the
asteroid belt. The video is computer-generated, but
the computer model was made by detailed photos collected
by the spacecraft Dawn, so it's kind of "real-ish."
Neat video but not likely not much science interest
except to those who study asteroids (and solar system
formation, I suppose).
