The 4-mile-tall pyramid mountain on dwarf planet Ceres is glowing

In its latest video, posted Thursday, NASA shows us that in addition to the intriguing bright spots in a large crater on Ceres, there are also bright streaks running down the sides of a pyramid-shaped mountain rising higher than Alaska's 20,000-foot (6,100 meter) Mt. McKinley.
...
And then there's that conical, almost pyramid-looking mountain that rises 4 miles high and is oddly dark on one side while the other side glows with bright streaks that seem similar in their effect to what's causing the other bright spots.
"What does this structure tell us about how this world works?" Rayman says.
Dude, if you don't know, then we might as well assume it's the headlight of an idling spaceship until science proves otherwise. Fortunately, Dawn will continue to descend for a closer look until its closest approach towards the end of this year.

The ancient ritual also specifies that the prominent businessman-politician must be from a place that has a harbor guarded by a lady with a torch.

Here is the real secret. Bet you will never look at McDonalds the same after you read this. Yes, it really means "M" for McDonald's and there really isn't any other meaning McDonald's had intended. Instead, it came to mean something unintentionally by customers, at least according to design consultant and psychologist Louis Cheskin. In the '60s, McDonald's wanted to change their logo but Cheskin insisted on leaving the golden arches. He said it's because customers unconsciously recognize the logo as "symbolism of a pair of nourishing breasts" (via BBC). Whether we unconsciously believe this or not, Cheskin convinced them and now the logo is one of the most recognizable in the world.

I just came upon this post.
I never heard of butterfly cages so went to Google.
Very cool-—and must be quite interesting.
I learn a lot at FR.
