Such a rocky body, orbiting around this area, where solar light/heat is obscured, is going to build up of ice over time.

I think it could be argued that there is too much brightness for ice, but we'll see.

while i would love for actual alien artifacts/structures, even lights on ceres to be discovered, i fully expect that the final, best-resolution imagery (available to the public) will reveal nothing of the sort. like everyone else i shall have to wait and see.

While I agree with almost all of your post,

I believe that it was probably covered with more ice millions of years ago. What we see there now is what remains, as it would over time sublimate into space.

So 'Ceres And it's not-so anomalies.'
Hmmm let me think about that While i look at your OP.
Funny, i see nothing but your opinon here - not even a source in agreement.
Perhaps your thread title should read 'and it's not so anomalies - as declared by, ME!'
Nice OP.

Only in regards to the light(s): the GIFs I've seen show Ceres to be rotating, right? I could see the lights being ice, except they don't seem to dim or brighten, as I would expect them to if they were reflecting light. Why wouldn't they?
That's the main reason why I'm pretty intrigued to see more...
