Bright areas on Ceres

Bright areas on Ceres
Bright areas on Ceres This map of Ceres shows the locations of about 130 bright areas (indicated in blue). Most of them are associated with craters, likely because the reflective material was excavated when the craters were formed. The insets at the top show the two brightest regions, Occator crater on the left and Oxo crater on the right. Full image and caption. NASA / JPL-Caltech / UCLA / MPS / DLR / IDA
