" is a particularly interesting asteroid in that it seems to have
been differentiated into layers like the terrestrial planets. This implies
some internal heat source in addition to the heat released by long-lived
radio-isotopes which alone would be insufficient to melt such a small
object. There is also a gigantic impact basin so deep that it exposes the
mantle beneath Vesta's outer crust. "

Asteroids don't have a core.

Basicly, what astronomical spectroscopic images say the content of
its surface is you can be pretty darn certain to find throughout that
specific asteroid.

There's no this at this level and that at that level.
