Two mysterious white spots observed on dwarf planet Ceres

I told you i was trolling and you are bringing things which are not included man....
well why did u bring ancient vedik text or knowledge into it

se lady if you want a trolling fest do that making fun of your heritage (if you have any) but if you try to make fun of india or indians then be prepared for the reply in same fashion respect is a two way street

NASA spies 3-mile-tall 'pyramid,' more bright spots on Ceres
Dwarf planet Ceres gets weirder as NASA's Dawn spacecraft gets closer. Check out the latest shots from the cosmic paparazzi.

    • Ceres earlier this year, it caught sight of large, bright and mysterious reflective spots in a crater on the big rock, which is also believed to contain quite a bit ofwater, ice and/or mud in its interior.

      Now orbiting at a near altitude of just 2,700 miles, those big spots remain a mystery (the leading guessis still reflective patches of ice or salts), but Dawn is also beginning to pick out other bright spots and an odd pyramid-shaped peak that NASA estimates to be three miles tall, which would put it higher than any of the Rocky Mountains. The image with the peak was taken on June 6 and released Wednesday.

      Plenty of observers have suggested -- with varying degrees of seriousness -- that the bright lights on Ceres could be evidence of current or past alien occupation of the dwarf planet. The discovery of a mountain-sized pyramid feature must have some cable channels looking into how much it would cost to get their own film crew to Ceres.


      Perhaps the ancient Egyptians and ancient Indian astronauts had a celestial joint venture of sorts going on back in the day? Or perhaps Ceres is more geologically interesting both today and in the past than what meets the eye.

      We're still closely monitoring the images coming back from Dawn for new close-ups of the other bright spots, so be sure to keep checking back with Crave and keep your guesses coming in the comments as well.

NASA's Dawn Probe Focuses on a Different Mystery Spot on Ceres

Now here's a spot of a different color: The latest picture released by the science team for NASA's Dawn mission shows a bright patch on the dwarf planet Ceres that's distinct from the eerie "alien headlights" seen in other imagery.

The best-known collection of bright spots on Ceres is known as "Spot 5," and the best guess is that those spots are made of ice deposits — although scientists haven't completely ruled out the possibility that they're made of salt or some other light-colored material.

The picture released on Tuesday focuses on another bright area called Spot 1. The image was captured on June 6 from an altitude of 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers).

Dawn's scientists say Spot 1 is as much a mystery as the more famous Spot 5:





The picture sparked a fair amount of discussion on Twitter, focusing on what appears to be a bright ray pattern fanning out from Spot 1's crater. Could the bright stuff be subsurface water ice that was exposed and blasted away by a cosmic impact? Stay tuned for the answer: Dawn is sure to be taking an even closer look at Spot 1, Spot 5 and Ceres' other mysteries in the months ahead

The shiny area could be melted glass or some other reflective mineral. "Pyramid" is probably extinct a volcano.
