Ceres is a dwarf planet. This is a large dwarf planet situated in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Most of the bright spots are spotted in a crater on Ceres.
These bright spots are primarily composed of sodium carbonate, which is a type of salt.
The spots are believed to be formed by evaporation of brine ( sodium carbonate ) seeping out from the interior of the dwarf planet.
These spots are highly reflective and stood out from surrounding dark terrain.
The presence of the bright spots suggests volconos on Ceres spouting brine.
Some of these bright spots are recent, suggesting that Ceres is geologically active.
This indicates that Ceres must be having subsurface brine ocean.
It suggests that Ceres must have been habitable to micro organism in the past.
