NEW YORK: The Dawn spacecraft of NASA has pointed out two bright spots in the dwarf planet Ceres. The spots found brighter than any other region of the celestial body. It was revealed in the recent images.
The source took note of Chris Russell’s words, principal investigator for the Dawn mission at the UCLA, saying, “Ceres’ bright spot can now be seen to have a companion of lesser brightness, but apparently in the same basin.”
“This may be pointing to a volcanolike origin of the spots, but we will have to wait for better resolution before we can make such geologic interpretations.” the researcher went on. Dawn is calculated to be 29,000 miles away when it took Ceres’ shots.
The ice volcanoes, formally called cryovolcanoes, erupt water, ammonia or methane, instead of the molten lava were reported.
