NASA this week released a very cool video of our solar system's dwarf planet Ceres, a composite of images taken by the Dawn spacecraft. Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt. The clip includes a flyover view of Occator Crater, home of Ceres' brightest area.
Fasle color was used to determine differences in surface materials, and examine bright spots on the object. The bright material, NASA says, is consistent with salt, silicate, and sulfates
Although it's false color and looks like a CGI-generated object, this thing is real, it's out there between Mars and Jupiter, spinning nearly 164 million miles from Earth, and we got pictures like this from 2700 miles away.
