Nothing else on Ceres comes close in brightness. The average surface albedo (percentage of sunlight that gets reflected) is 9%. Water ice reflects about 40% of the light that hits it, so it's not impossible for that to be the source.

Whatever it is, it's really bright, and reflects a minimum of 40% of the sunlight that hits it (the rest of Ceres' surface reflects about 9%). If the bright features are even smaller than they look now, the albedo is greater still. Solid water ice maxes out at around 40%. Snow (and similarly tiny, clean ice crystals) can exceed 90% albedo. Snow would be a rather unusual explanation for the bright spot, since the bright features seem unique to that particular crater, and Ceres' surface seems to be geologically dead.

OK, figure the energy required to get one kilogram of NG off Titan past its gravitational pull, then add the energy for the delta-v to bring it to Earth, then double it for various inefficiencies... now figure the energy content of combusting one kilogram of NG.

The space probe wouldn't really have to speed up relative to the sun, it would actually have to slow down since Ceres orbits the sun less quickly than Earth.

It depends. Let's assume for now, that these aliens are actually relatively primitive. (An advanced civilization would have much greater impacts than a primitive bacteria or even an complex organism). Probably a good deal of mass hysteria, quite a bit of religious debate, an extreme amount of interest in alien literature/movies/etc, Likely the funding for NASA will go through the roof, a lot of debate by the different power countries on who is going to get to study it.

The European Space Agency made the camera and operates it with the ESA approach to science. NASA has a mandate to release their information. The ESA does not.

Looks like canyons, apparently!

The really bright features are still too far and too bright to resolve at 25,000 miles. But you'll notice in this gif that you can see them well after the rest of that part of the dwarf planet has receded into shadow...

Not him, but the spot has significantly higher albedo than similar structures in the asteroid. So it must be a recent impact within the Crater if it is exposed ice.

I suspect in the last frame it's catching ambient light from the crater wall, but it does seem remarkably bright. I don't know if this is just because Ceres is very dark, through.

>> No.7103830

>>7103810
No, it is a reflection. The light stops once the bright features pass the day-night terminator. The only reason they're still visible is because they're taller than the crater floor. This does pose an interesting conundrum for the "excavated by an impact" hypothesis.

The light curve also follows the rotation of Ceres. It is (and has been) safe to say that it is a reflective feature, not a light emitting one.

What would even emit light? We have molten rock on Earth and Io but Ceres shouldn't get nowhere near enough energy to sustain something like that.

It could simply be a tall rocky structure that's more reflective than the surrounding plane. Phobos has a similar "monolith" that's more reflective and stands out.

Either way, everyone needs to settle down. Rest assured, there's no ayyy here.

Why does it take so long to approach Ceres ?
Months ago, they said that the distance from the Dawn probe to Ceres was smaller than the Earth-Moon distance. Today, it still hasn't reached it.
In 1969, it took apollo like 2 days to go from the earth to the moon. Wtf ?
