(Before It's News)

It’s not often that NASA’s own scientists are left scratching their heads. However when it comes to the dwarf planet Ceres, there’s a lot to be confused about.

NASA’s Dawn spacecraft has just captured some new close-up shots of the tiny planet showing what appear to be two bright lights on the surface.

And scientists have no idea what they are.

“This is truly unexpected and still a mystery to us” NASA scientists say 

Ceres is the largest known object in the asteroid belt. Found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, astronomers have been keen to study the planet due to a belief that it could contain huge quantities of water.

  • Lots of UFO stories of late.

    • And why spend all of that money and energy just to go to a rock that lies between Mars and Jupiter ?

      To be able to study the age of our solar system says Nasa.
      Far too much money at their disposal if this is their true reason.

      A lot of money that could have been directed to social projects.
