Christopher Russell, Professor of Geophysics and Space Physics at UCLA cannot discuss the new high resolution images from Ceres because they have been embargoed by the science journal Nature.
...
Russell was able to discuss the issue of Ceres' strange bright spots, appearing prominently in both the large crater known as 'Occator', of which is 60 miles (90 km) across and 2 miles (4 km) deep, and on the slopes of an extremely strange, pyramid-shaped mountain that is 4 miles (6 km) tall. These spots, as described by professor Russell, appear to be a powdery substance that is deposited on the surface of the crater. The substance has an albedo, which is the fraction of the light being reflected from it, of about 50%. This is extremely bright, in contrast to Ceres' extremely dark surface albedo of only approximately 4-8%.
Infrared spectroscopy readings of the substance have been taken, but due to an apparent malfunction, he is unable to positively identify what the powder is made of.

Whether or not a journal has the right to embargo images taken by a publicly funded NASA project is an open question. Denying the public its right to view these images is a direct violation of the NASA Charter...

What possible reason would there be to censor or classify those photos?
I can think of only one
‘The machine must be broken’ beats having to admit what they’ve found, apparently.
Well, if it was gold or diamonds the market would tank.
Can’t have that.
(Ice on the surface reflecting light is such pedestrian explanation.)
Why??? will we be going there anytime soon to recover the gold and by the way, why is a pretty, malleable metal the basis of the world economy????never did make sense.
We are not the first civilian that lived on this planet. There have been others and clues about them are in many ancient texts. Not aliens. Humans from earth who colonized the solar system and left us primitives behind. Some are still around here and there. Most eventually met their demise in the cold vaccuum of space. Only a few remain today. The age of noah approaches again...
Looking at the pictures of the pyramid, it looks like there are several other white spots there.
With the embargo on some of the pictures (until the Photoshop team can work on them?) the are obviously hiding something at this point.
