The Ceres “Pyramid”

The dwarf planet Ceres discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi in 1596, a Catholic priest from the Academy of Palermo, described Ceres as a slow moving comet, he later thought that there was something vastly more interesting (although not sure what its eventual classification would be) about this small “star”.  Later observations by fellow astronomers of the time had realigned Piazzi’s assertion that Ceres orbits between Mars and Jupiter’s trajectory, therefore it was not seen as a comet.  It was later classified as a small planet (or dwarf planet) of our Solar System.

In 2007 the NASA spacecraft DAWN was launched to observe the so called proto planets Vesta and Ceres, honing its sights on Ceres in 2015 the probe was able to capture the amazing details of this Dwarf Planet, more so the illuminated salt deposits (crystallized sodium carbonate) and the now infamous Pyramid of Ceres known as Ahuna Mons. Which shows the hallmarks of a volcanic structure (not alien).  My amateurish guess is that it will erupt at some point, disperse its internal contents of evaporated ice in a climatic spasm.
