Ceres' conical mountain This is a very brief clip from an animation of Ceres based on Dawn’s observations through the second mapping orbit. The entire animation (along with a recording of your correspondent’s informal commentary) is here. This excerpt shows the conical mountain, and you can see more about it in pictures below. The complete animation also shows the bright spots and a 3-D view of the dwarf planet. NASA / JPL-Caltech / UCLA / MPS / DLR / IDA / LPI
