When you get to fractional pixels per meter, it’s more convenient to use meters per pixel :)

So unless there is another higher-resolution camera (or a higher resolution mode) aboard this craft, we really cannot expect to see much fine detail as Ceres is approached. At 480m/pixel, the smallest object we could see is 480 meters in size? Or is my understanding of this faulty?
