Ceres "rich in surface features"
Oct. 11th, 2006 02:31 pm[...]now new images of [Ceres'] surface reveal a surprisingly diverse surface terrain, scientists say.

"Infrared images of Ceres reveal a textured surface, and astronomers have produced a colour 3D model from the data. The blue in the 3D model corresponds to the dark patches in the infrared, the yellow to the bright. The blackout at the edges is due to insufficient data at the poles."
