Astronomers STILL Don’t Know What is Causing the “Ceres Spots” – Update

some say salt some say light reflection but it is UNPROVEN…

Many space fans have read the stories about the asteroid/mini planet Ceres.  In particular, the “bright spots” on one particular crater have the internet buzzing with questions.

And a recap of our part 5 of the Ceres videos NASA shows something very cool!

Take a tour of weird Ceres! Visit a 2-mile-deep crater and a 4-mile-tall mountain in the video narrated by mission director Marc Rayman. Get your red/blue glasses ready for the finale – a global view of the dwarf planet in 3D.

All of the data was generated from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, currently in orbit around Ceres.

AND NOTE – THERE IS AN UPDATE THAT SOME THINK INDICATES LIFE AS A POSSIBILITY ON THE SURFACE.

Is that insane or what?

Let’s watch this incredible video of the surface on page 2

    Need to have more up-closed photos for R-view. There are two massive pyramids – not one – in the centre of the crater. In the mist of a asteroid shower that hit the surface – a large asteroid landed a couple of miles near the pyramids – partially destroyed one – kicking up enough dirt to covered up both of the pyramids. There are massive structures/buildings on the rim of the crater.

    Not salt, smh. Not light reflection, smh. I have seen a pic from the side, looks just like spotlights. Also if you look at earth, from space, looks exactly the same.
