It is now pretty obvious that lumpy Ceres is actually the planet of the Clangers, complete with bright spots in the craters [link to www.freewebs.com] The vertical relief has been exaggerated in the video by a factor of 2.

At the end of the video NASA point out "Star field added in background" which is good, because they have forgotten to do that before

Here is a nice close view of Ceres from OpNav 9 at 5,100km 480m / pixel: [link to photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov]
