Ceres 'Lights' Baffling NASA: What Is Shining On Dwarf Planet's Surface? (+Video)

It’s not often that NASA’s own scientists are left scratching their heads. However when it comes to the dwarf planet Ceres, there’s a lot to be confused about.

NASA’s Dawn spacecraft has just captured some new close-up shots of the tiny planet showing what appear to be two bright lights on the surface.

And scientists have no idea what they are.

“This is truly unexpected and still a mystery to us” NASA scientists say 

Ceres is the largest known object in the asteroid belt. Found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, astronomers have been keen to study the planet due to a belief that it could contain huge quantities of water.
