BRIGHT SPOTS ON CERES REVEALED

The first image of dwarf planet Ceres was taken by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft on Feb. 9 from a distance of nearly 29,000 miles. It shows that the brightest spot on Ceres has a dimmer companion, which apparently lies in the same basin (Image from nasa.gov)

According to NASA, “astronomers are puzzled by the latest images captured by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft. They show that there are two spots on Ceres that are much brighter than the rest of the dwarf planet’s rocky and pockmarked terrain.”

Revealed: The second image shows the two bright spots which have been enlarged and enhanced. Unfortunately, the spots aren’t a mysterious alien ship. Analyzing the image indicates that the bright spots are composed of carbon dioxide ice (dry ice). It can be concluded that this dry ice is left over from a comet that broke into as it collided with Ceres.
