Scientists spot another crater on dwarf planet Ceres that may mark an icy volcano

Ceres might be spewing cryovolcanoes in yet another spot on the dwarf planet’s surface.

Close-up pictures from NASA’s Dawn mission that orbited Ceres between 2015 and 2018 revealed salt deposits in a crater known as Urvara, spotted for the first time in a new study. The salt deposits may be associated with icy volcanoes, the research team says, whose brine rose to the surface over time.
