Ice fields? Salt deposits? Or extraterrestrial cities? You be the judge..

"It’s still unclear what those bright areas in the crater are; we are waiting for scientists to come up with some explanation. As Marc Rayman, Dawn’s chief engineer and mission director says:

'Dawn has transformed what was so recently a few bright dots into a complex and beautiful, gleaming landscape. Soon, the scientific analysis will reveal the geological and chemical nature of this mysterious and mesmerizing extraterrestrial scenery.'"===http://gizmodo.com/we-can-now-see-ceres-...1729568529
