Get StartedWould glass count as rock? Like volcanic glass. The spots are in craters; one's in the dead center. I think meteors sometimes create glass where they hit. (Or do they need an atmosphere so they're hot when they hit?)

my vote was for a geyser. As it passes into darkness it still reflects light showing that it is higher that the surface. My guess is a geyser pushing water above the surface and the vapor is reflecting light like clouds do here on earth.
so object could be as small as a square meter, or even smaller.
disappointingly, they still haven't posted a close up of the damn light spot.
either they're toying with us, or whoever is directing the probe has their own agenda. If it's the former, I think they're way overestimating public interest in this. Most people will just move on if they don't get to the point soon.
If you zoom in enough, it's a lightboard that says "Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine."
But there's more to it than that.

Notice the similarity.
Well, I voted for rock anyway.
FYI: regarding scale, Ceres is about 580 miles in diameter.
