The Divalia Fossae, surface troughs\n                    comparable in size to the Grand Canyon, encircle two-thirds of the equator. Two\n                    giant impacts reshaped the southern hemisphere, where an older basin is\n                    partially superposed by the younger Rheasilvia basin. The origin of the Divalia\n                    Fossae is widely accepted as directly linked to the Rheasilvia impact, either by\n                    tectonics caused immediately by the impact, up-spinning, or secondary cratering.\n                    We present several geologic constraints that support a tectonic origin of the\n                    troughs due to the adjustment of Vesta\u2019s spin axis to a geoid changed by\n                    both large impacts. The best fit to Vesta\u2019s gravitational field\n                    corresponds to a spin axis reorientation of 3\u00b0 that, when coupled with\n                    despinning, induces a stress state that predicts Divalia Fossae\u2019s\n                    established location, fracture type, and orientation. These insights underline\n                    the importance of tectonic processes in the early evolution of protoplanets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1126\/sciadv.ads7984","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,25]],"date-time":"2025-06-25T13:58:34Z","timestamp":1750859914000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34133\/aaas_crossmark","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Reorientation and despinning of 4 Vesta formed the Divalia                    Fossae"],"prefix":"10.1126","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0883-5059","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hiu Ching Jupiter","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geology, University of\r                    Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA."},{"name":"Department of Geological Sciences,\r                    University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL 35401, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6811-8502","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Christian","family":"Klimczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geology, University of\r                    Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2917-8633","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Isamu","family":"Matsuyama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University\r                    of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"221","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/maps.12108"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1219122"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/maps.13594"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1029\/2022JE007473"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41467-023-36771-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1029\/2012GL052959"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jgre.20108"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.icarus.2014.10.002"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsg.2022.104677"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.icarus.2021.114512"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nature11892"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/2016GL071539"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00577875"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jgre.20123"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1029\/2021JE007130"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1029\/2004JE002240"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1130\/L123.1"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.icarus.2017.03.014"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1127\/zfg\/2019\/0614"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1029\/2022JE007281"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-earth-060313-054724"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1029\/2011GL047967"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pss.2012.08.021"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_25_2","unstructured":"F.
