NASA Dawn spacecraft found pyramid-shaped structure on Ceres' Surface after spotting a few mysterious white lights on one of its craters.

Ceres is 590 miles (950 km) across and was discovered in 1801. It is the closest dwarf planet to the sun and is located in the asteroid belt, making it the only dwarf planet in the inner solar system.

NASA released picture of the intriguing three-mile-high pyramid-shaped mountain jutting out of a relatively flat surface Wednesday.

Dawn was launched from Earth in September 2007 to investigate the most massive bodies in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The probe entered orbit around Ceres on March 6 and has since been studying the dwarf planet in detail.

The images, which were taken by Dawn about 2,700 miles above Ceres, reveal the planet's mysterious bright spots located in a crater about 55 miles across.

NASA captured another latest photograph on June 6 from a 2,700-mile distance above the dwarf planet's floor by the orbiter. The picture beamed again by the spacecraft gave evidence that Ceres is dotted by extra mysterious brilliant spots.

The discovered pyramid is roughly 11 mile-wide and three. 9-mile-high. The pyramid is situated on a surprisingly flat plain, whereas the planet's floor is marked by craters, historic lava flows, and landslides.

Dawn's visible and infrared mapping spectrometer helps scientists identify specific minerals present on Ceres based how they reflect light. Each mineral reflects wavelengths in a different way, giving each a unique signature that scientists can recognize.
