This geological background of the dwarf planet may help in finding out what is going on:
“The surface of Ceres has revealed many interesting and unique features. For example, icy moons in the outer solar system have craters with central pits, but on Ceres central pits in large craters are much more common. These and other features will allow us to understand the inner structure of Ceres that we cannot sense directly,” said Carol Raymond, deputy principal investigator for the Dawn mission, based at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Dawn has been studying the dwarf planet in detail from its second mapping orbit, which is 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers) above Ceres. A new view of its intriguing bright spots, located in a crater about 55 miles (90 kilometers) across, shows even more small spots in the crater than were previously visible.
At least eight spots can be seen next to the largest bright area, which scientists think is approximately 6 miles (9 kilometers) wide. A highly reflective material is responsible for these spots — ice and salt are leading possibilities, but scientists are considering other options, too.
This is one of the more intriguing things out of NASA in many years!
thanks to NASA for the awesome info and pic!
WE ARE THE PRIESTS OF THE TEMPLE OF CERES!
It’s a prothean data drive man they’re gonna find a m$#%&!@* relay out there and were gonna find the turians
The music completely ruins the video

Rush? This post is complete bull, but rush!!!!
This is really cool
I am thinking they may have spotted a crystal ofbsome type.. Not a pyramid but a mineral that has shown itself outside the surface because it is swept clean of debris de to solar winds and such since there is no atmosphere to deflect those..

Send out the storm troopers we have located the death Star all hail lord vador
Didn’t NASA shut down?
Syrinx 😉 2112! My favorite Rush Album!
You have a point. They’ll find out soon I’m sure
Space shuttle missions, because we have no use for them really anymore. We hitch rides to the ISS with Russia mostly now. They still run satellites and send them up once in awhile. NASA is too important to simply disband altogether.
I did research after I posted this and found that out, but thank yyou
I would say that’s the most plausible explanation. All though it doesn’t explain the lights at night.
