Kerwan (Ceres)

Hopi spirit of the sprouting maize (Arizona, SW USA).

Kerwan /ˈkɜːrwən/ is the largest confirmed crater and geological feature on Ceres. It was discovered on February 19, 2015 from Dawn images as it approached Ceres. The crater is distinctly shallow for its size, and lacks a central peak. A central peak might have been destroyed by a 15-kilometer-wide crater at the center. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Ceres they are named after gods and goddesses of agriculture and vegetation from world mythology.
