QuoteA dwarf planet is shining two bright lights at a NASA spacecraft right now, and our smartest scientists are unsure what they are.

As bizarre as that sentence sounds, that's the situation with Ceres â€" the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, officially designated as a dwarf planet (the same category as Pluto).

NASA's Dawn spacecraft is approaching Ceres ahead of a March 6 rendezvous. The picture above was taken February 19, from a distance of just under 29,000 miles, and shows two very shiny areas on the same basin on Ceres' surface.

I'm really looking forward Dawn's arrival at Ceres! Been looking forward to it for years.

Then in July: New Horizons arrives at Pluto!!

Only thereafter will it will be possible to publish a complete solar system coffee-table book!!

A great year for space!

Ice, I'd imagine.

Or a crashed alien spaceship.
