This page describes an image Ceres
Caption: True-colour image of the asteroid Ceres acquired by the spaceprobe Dawn in May 2015, at a distance of 13641 km. The prominent, bright crater at right is Haulani. The smaller bright spot to its left is exposed on the floor of Oxo. Ejecta from these impacts appears to have exposed bright material, probably water ice.

Caption: Image en couleurs de la planète naine Cérès acquise par la sonde Dawn en mai 2015, à une distance de 13641 km. Le cratère proéminent et brillant à droite est Haulani. Le plus petit point lumineux à sa gauche se trouve dans le cratère Oxo. Les éjectas de ces impacts semblent avoir exposé des matériaux brillants, probablement de la glace d'eau.

Caption: Immagine a colori reali dell'asteroide Cerere, acquisita dalla sonda spaziale Dawn nel maggio 2015, a una distanza di 13641 km. Il cratere sporgente e luminoso a destra è Haulani. Il punto luminoso più piccolo alla sua sinistra è esposto sul piano di Oxo. I materiali espulsi da questi impatti sembrano rivelare materiale luminoso, probabilmente ghiaccio.
