Still look's like remnants of an impactor to me.
 Quoting: NervousAndJerky


It doesn't strike you how level the surface of the plateau is? It looks like someone scraped the top with something straight-edged. You can even see areas where it looks like shallow areas have been partially filled in.

I don't think wind alone would cause that uniformly flat an effect.

I'm familiar with the Electric Universe theory, and I don't think it can account for the smoothness we're seeing here.

Some of the people in support of the EU theory have done laboratory simulations of planetary discharges. As I recall, they were a good deal more randomly pitted than this.

I think that the groove around the middle of the asteroid Vesta [link to news.discovery.com] is a much better candidate for a possible planetary electric discharge.

I'll admit I don't have a sense of how large that plateau is versus how high resolution the photo is, so I could be totally off on my perception.

The smaller lights on the upper right represent the 7 stars of Pleiades. The spherical center object represents the star of bethlehem, RA, origin of human DNA, Sun (not son) of Man, aka where we are from in the Pleiades. The alternate placement of the individual stars in the constellation are to clue the observer to determine WHERE the creators of this came form. In other words, by determining at what angle and distance would create the view of the Pleiades seen here. You can literally bi-angulate the location this was perceived from. Perhaps the third clue, to allow triangulation is down there. We are meant to see this, and go there. Clues await. Just like the ones left on the moon, Mars, etc...

The link above is just that. An image of the bright spots emitting there own light, while on the dark side. My request to the poster for the source of the image went unanswered. This creates some question of it's validity.

Re: NEW Ceres Bright Spot Photos!
^^^^^^^^^^

That is the photo that I've been looking for. Too bad it's unsourced.

Pretty understandable though. If it's real, then you could see why NASA wouldn't release it.

It's too provocative to release until they know for sure what it is. Or they do know for sure what it is, and it isn't a "natural" phenomena.

I never bought the stories that NASA didn't release photos from when it was in shadow because there wasn't anything to see.

Here is a link to an Error Level Analysis (ELA) of that photo. I realize the picture is rather dark, but the ELA shows absolutely no photoshopping. It looks exactly as it should.

[link to fotoforensics.com]

Certainly, there are ways to cover your photoshop "tracks", but it seems possible it could be genuine.

Re: NEW Ceres Bright Spot Photos!
The NASA photo in the OP, however, shows definite signs of "photoshopping". I wish I'd thought to run it through ELA sooner.

[link to fotoforensics.com]

These things take a little practice to interpret. What you are looking for are spots which appear bright on the ELA when there's no corresponding feature change in the original.

Areas of high contrast will show a brighter border or edge, but regions of similar contrast should look uniform on the ELA.

The most obvious areas the ELA indicates something being changed are a bright spot near the upper edge of the plateau, and a "v"-like shape towards the lower center of the plateau, and a bright spot to the left of the larger bright spot in the center. All three of these are much brighter than would be explained by contrast changes on the original.

Both areas of the "lights" also seem to me to show reworking.

So, no way it's a brighter image, darkened? And the bright spot enhanced? The lack of a source on the image has me still questioning it. Not sure why because the known NASA image of Ceres rotating suggest the bright spots do indeed produce there own light. By the way, the poster of the image in question. Also posted the GIF image of Ceres bright spots rotating into the terminator.

OMG, guys! In order to be sure I was answering your question right I went to copy the URL for OP's photo.

You quoted my detailed ELA analysis, which was for the official photo on NASA's servers, but your comment was about the "dark" photo you're referencing. So I got confused.

The answer to your question is that such a manipulation would cause obvious ELA artifacts. There are ways to hide that, by saving and re-saving the photo to "smooth out" the error correction anomalies. I honestly don't think that's the case with the "dark" photo. It looks to me like it's been saved one time from an unretouched higher resolution file.

In the process of being confused, I found something MUCH more interesting. In the process of getting the URL from OP's first post, I noticed that it's not the right version. We've been looking at the thumbnail, not the full resolution shot.

Here's OP's URL
[link to www.nasa.gov]

Here is the URL for the full resolution version
[link to www.jpl.nasa.gov]

That means I ran the ELA on NASA's thumbnail, which automatically means that the ELA anomalies would be reduced, as I mentioned above.

When I ran the ELA on NASA's full-res shot, on NASA's servers, I got a shock. The widespread alteration is obvious, particularly in those areas we'd been discussing earlier, that look like they've been blurred.

Well they sure as hell have!

I didn't mention that inexplicably dark areas in an ELA where in the original there's no sharp contrast change are a huge sign of manipulation. Well look at this!

That's the ELA for NASA's full res image. Look at those black spots! What did they erase?
