DAWN at Vesta is also still coming up with great results, including mineral analysis and internal density. See picture gallery on
http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/multimedia/...wn_gallery.asp
In the above, the left image is white light topography. The middle is mineral composition (I would guess blue/purple is diogenite grading towards yellow eucrite). The right is a combination of topography and mineral composition.
Below is a feature called the "snowman".
I include that before the following movie includes a fly-over of the largest crater of the snowman.

The internal structure of Vesta is now known.

Also look out for the gravity anomaly maps.
