A mysterious dwarf planet has left scientists scratching their heads after a strange light was seen shining from it.
The dwarf planet Ceres has stumped boffins at NASA after a spacecraft sent to investigate it took these stunning pictures.
In the images taken by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft, a bright spot is seen projecting out from the darkness of the surface.
A second bright light is seen close to the other one, leaving scientists completely baffled.

Must be a Motel 6 on Ceres and they decided to “leave the lights on” for us. Reflecting sunlight? Really, you learned NASA scientists?

Maybe the lights are coming from the homes of “stumped boffins”—strange creatures, indeed.

Looks like the shine is in a big crater... perhaps it was a comet strike and some ice from the comet was left behind.

A reflection would be easy to eliminate as the sourcce. Just determine the location of the sun to the camera and planet.
NASA would have to be pretty dumb not to think of that...but then perhaps they're now relying on science contributed during their muslim outreach.
