Zooming in on Ceres’ mysterious double bright spot
Cool image time! Dawn’s science team has released a much closer image of the double bright spots on Ceres.
The spots can now be resolved into a half-dozen spots of varying size, all of which suggest material with a high reflectivity, likely ice. They look so bright because the rest of the dwarf planet’s surface is so dark.
