Mysterious bright spots are seen here in greater detail. This image, made using images taken by our Dawn spacecraft, shows Occator crater on dwarf planet Ceres, home to a collection of intriguing bright spots. The bright spots are much brighter than the rest of Ceres' surface, and tend to appear overexposed in most images. This view is a composite of two images of Occator: one using a short exposure that captures the detail in the bright spots, and one where the background surface is captured at normal exposure.
