Strange lights on dwarf planet Ceres have scientists perplexed

[zorgon]

Wow that new image sure looks like something did some work there   I guess I need to update my pages today

I think the Cereans are preparing the crater for the next big Trump rally.

Wouldnt surface working with some exposed material creating either high reflectivity, or actual exposure of a luminous substance beneath the surface, be a feature of an advanced civilization's methodology for mining?

Since the imagery seems to change, could it be some sort of liquid thawing and freezing with each temperature shift, giving the impression of a changing surface? As well as providing smooth frozen surfaces to reflect light and make it seem as if there is something going on there?

Like water freezing and thawing in bulldozer tracks right here in our own midst?

Or maybe Ceres was some sort of player from archetypal human experiences in the past, once luminous and appearing as on fire to awestruck Earthlings....such as we read in various literary works by the likes of Velikovsky, or Allan and Delair...and now its covered with dust and debris from various encounters with larger, more positively charged bodies.

Uh oh, Ceres needs some dryer sheets, to rid itself of that pesky static cling.

Cheers!

This pic is the same area as the above pic posted by Littleenki. My pic is a little more magnified, and we can see some of the detail a little better.

My question................ what is all of this detail that we can see in this pic. To me, it does appear to be something other than just impacted surface areas.?? In this magnified pic, we can see definite multiple straight and curving 3-D tubular-looking features with various formations. One might think this was simple pixel magnification formations, but "are not", as the solid black areas in the photo have the same pixel mag, and they do not have these type features.

It doesn't look like the result of impact(s).

"Tubular-looking" features? Do you mean those vein-like things (or at least that's what they look to me)?

[Littleenki]

It just looks to me like what we Wouldnt expct to find in a crater on a distant moon, features which suggest some sort of pattern, or intent.

I wouldnt be surprised at all if someday we find technology or remnants of such there.

That square feature....it is still catching my eye..like a guard tower, or overlook of some sort.

Odd indeed

That's the part I find the most interesting, not only because it looks different from the surroundings but also because it reminds me of another cubic shapes from Mars and another celestial body I can't remember (maybe zorgon remembers that "tower").

So we have to puzzle..why does it glow when hit by ambient light?

My money is on some sort of vitrified glass, or maybe even something like mercury.

The coolest part here is we all are hoping to find that indicator that we arent alone, lets just hope it isnt our own planet-men, who are working covertly, that takes the fun right out of wondering I guess.

Does anyone remember any reference to Ceres in Velikovskys work? Im going to take another look...

Cheers!

ArMaP - ""Tubular-looking" features? Do you mean those vein-like things (or at least that's what they look to me)?

Yes, vein-like things, with bumps, could be another description of what we see there. Of course, this pic is some distance away from the main body-mass of light on the surface, which most are looking at! We really can see the surface features better in looking at the full link pic!

maybe someone like Bigelow ,many many years ago, made some nice bungalows

I'm sure he remembers, he posted it on the first page of this thread.

I think those would have a more reflective look, we are looking at a dark object, so the brighter areas are not really that bright.

I'm not hoping for that, but I would love to see proof of that.
