Could be ice or it could be titanium oxide like we see on the moon.
Could be a vast military installation.

John Belushi, aka, “Blutarksy”, had the answer many decades again, “ZITS”! Maybe volcanic ZITS!
Are we CEREOUS about this? Absolutely not! “In Space, No One Can Hear You Laugh”.
Saw some of “Alien” last night for the 900th time. Never loses its edge and Ripley “Rocked”.

Since it’s a white spot, it’s obviously racist. Expect Rev. Al to start his bitchin’ any time now.

Finding the source of the water vapor detected, on an airless body this close into the solar system will be interesting, too. Occam's razor says the Spot on Ceres is a lighter material, an area less optically mature, perhaps nothing more than an impact crater, or a remarkable Mars-like dune plain.
Either way, should be pretty interesting. First Ceres, three months later, Pluto's close-up, about wrapping up the major players in the star system I was born into.

It’s a tarp covering the field where the local Ceres baseball team plays its home games. They’re in a rain delay.

Is there a black dot in the middle of the white spot? Upon magnification, do the dimensions have a ratio of 1:4:9?
