I saw this today, pretty interesting!!!

I was surprised to see this remark in the article though…I did not know they had found a structure there as well as the 2 lights…??

"The bright spots aren’t the only Ceres mystery of interest to scientists.* Among the puzzling features is the large structure below and to the right of center in this image acquired by Dawn **on February 19. Pictures in the RC3 orbit (see above) will be more than three times sharper." Image via NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA

I looked up the literal definition of the word ‘structure’…

Structure is a constructed building or a specific arrangement of things or people, especially things that have multiple parts…WOW! I am very surprised they used that particular word in this case!

The word “structure” is also used for naturally occurring formations. Just for grins, I googled the phrase “geological structures” and got more than 390,000 hits.
 
Bright spots? “Structure”?
