| Description |
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took these images of the asteroid 1 Ceres over a 2-hour and 20-minute span, the time it takes the Texas-sized object to complete one quarter of a rotation. One day on Ceres lasts 9 hours. The bright spot that appears in each image is a mystery. It is brighter than its surroundings. Yet it is still very dark, reflecting only a small portion of the sunlight that shines on it. Esperanto: La Hubble-teleskopo de NASA fotis Cereson dum 140 minutoj, proksimume kvarona rotacio de la planedeto. La relative brila makulo, efektive ankaŭ ĝi tre malhela, restas enigma.
