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.

‘Sure looks like water ice with some evidence of flow. Wracking my brain as to what else would freeze-out so brightly, but can’t find anything. H²O² conceivably?

No spectral analysis of this stuff?

So I believe that is one mountain you could actually jump off from and not splat.

If you took a running leap, you might just go into orbit.

If the big hair dude(Giorgio Tsukalakos) says it's aliens that's good enough for me!

I just came upon this post.

Never start a post with that kind of lead-in.

Some will think that you're too easily turned on.

The streaks on Cere's pyramid, are melted gold.

California had its gold rush, and now, it's Ceres' turn.

Which country is going to claim all that gold?

Ceres is made mostly of gold. Gold on Earth will be greatly devalued once we start mining that dwarf planet.

Dude, the aliens are already here, and we have youtube videos to prove it.

Also one-half of the female musical comedy duo “Garfunkel and Oates”. They’re kinda funny in a girl-power sort of way.

Excellent!
