Ceres Update

We've been following the "DAWN Mission" photographing the Dwarf Planet Ceres with great interest.  What the Heck are those bright lights staring back from that mysterious rock in the sky!

Until a day or so ago, scientists at NASA thought there were 2 bright lights.  Now that the Dawn probe is only 4,500 miles away...the closer look has revealed a bunch more.

4,500 miles away

Why just in that one spot?

What's causing them?  Are they a "reflection" of some kind...like ice? or salt flats?  or, or.....

They still don't know.

The best explanation of those mysterious lights...comes from  a Man named Paul Martin, who is obviously a renowned Astrological Scientist....

His learned explanation is:   They are lights for the championship baseball game among the Little people on the planet.  That's right!  They're night lights for the "Dwarf World Ceres.!"
