Fly Over Dwarf Planet Ceres: A colorful new animation shows a simulated flight over the surface of dwarf planet Ceres, based on images from our Dawn spacecraft. The movie shows Ceres in enhanced color, which helps to highlight subtle differences in the appearance of surface materials. Scientists believe areas with shades of blue contain younger, fresher material, including flows, pits and cracks. This animated flight over Ceres emphasizes the prominent crater Occator and its intriguing bright spots, which are believed to be a type of salt.
