WASHINGTON DC (Web Desk) – NASA scientists were astonished to find curiously sparkly bright spots on the surface of Ceres, the dwarf planet that lies in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Cameras on the tractor-trailer-size spacecraft, Dawn, have captured a baffling structure rising 3 miles above the planet’s cratered surface, reported CNN.
The thing looks an awful lot like a pyramid, the NASA scientists said.
The new image, released by NASA, was taken June 14 from a distance of about 2,700 miles, the agency said.
NASA in a clam and controlled tones, described the shape as “a mountain with steep slopes protruding from a relatively smooth area of the dwarf planet’s surface.”
It’s probably just a really tall mountain in a solar system filled with wondrous and strange natural phenomena.
