From the source:
"Images taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft give a closest-yet look at two mysterious shining splotches on the surface of the dwarf planet Ceres — and have led scientists to believe that they're actually made up of many smaller spots of reflective material.
"Dawn scientists can now conclude that the intense brightness of these spots is due to the reflection of sunlight by highly reflective material on the surface, possibly ice," Christopher Russell, principal investigator for the Dawn mission from the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement.
