Crater on Ceres From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Urvara /ɜːrˈvɛərə/[1] (Sanskrit: উর্বর, romanized: urvárā) is the third-largest confirmed crater on Ceres after Kerwan and neighboring Yalode. Urvara means fertile. It is named after the ancient Indo-Iranian personification of fertility (plants in the Avesta, fertile fields in the Rig Veda).[2] It has a central peak, and a number of unexplained ridges intersect it.
