As Dawn first made its approach on Ceres earlier this year, it caught sight of large, bright and mysterious reflective spots in a crater on the big rock, which is also believed to contain quite a bit of water, ice and/or mud in its interior.
Astronomers have discovered direct evidence of water on the dwarf planet Ceres in the form of vapor plumes erupting into space, possibly from volcano-like ice geysers on its surface.
Using European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory, scientists detected water vapor escaping from two regions on Ceres, a dwarf planet that is also the largest asteroid in the solar system. The water is likely erupting from icy volcanoes or sublimation of ice into clouds of vapor.

Having been interesting in the Ceres news since it began I have constantly been checking on new news. Something I found yesterday and thought I would share is the new photos and ideas about what was found. Below is a photo of what looks like a large pyramid type object on Ceres surface.
Here shows its actual size which as you can see, is quite large.

Whether or not it is what they say it is, it is however interesting how slowly the surface of Ceres is becoming more and more strange and interesting. It'll be a case of what they find, do they show us? and if they show us, hopefully it will be special. After all the universe is a big and wonderful place and there will be a day we stumble across something great. Fingers crossed.
Also further findings where those of a new crater spotted by Nasa.
