The latest images of dwarf planet Ceres reveal a second unexplained bright spot residing in the same basin as the first mysterious bright patch spied in previous images.
"Ceres' bright spot can now be seen to have a companion of lesser brightness, but apparently in the same basin,” said Chris Russell, principal investigator for the Dawn mission, in a prepared statement. “This may be pointing to a volcano-like origin of the spots, but we will have to wait for better resolution before we can make such geologic interpretations."
