Image 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.

Image 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.

Image 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.

Image caption: 这是一张由“黎明号”探测器在2015年5月在13641公里的距离拍摄的小行星谷神星的真彩色图像。右侧醒目的明亮陨石坑是豪拉尼(Haulani)陨石坑,其左侧较小的亮点位于奥克索(Oxo)陨石坑的底部。来自这些撞击的喷出物似乎暴露出明亮的物质,可能是水冰。
