article_snippet: The images show the full range of different crater shapes that can be found at Ceres surface: from shallow, flattish craters to those with peaks at those with peaks at their centers centers .
article_snippet: The brightest spot continues to be too small to resolve with our camera, but despite The brightest spot size The brightest spot is brighter than anything else on Ceres,' said Andreas Nathues, lead investigator for the framing camera team at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Gottingen, Germany.
article_snippet: Ceres is the bright spot in the centre of the image.
