New photo of Ahuna Mons released

http://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/jpl/pia20348/ahu...

Kinda looks a bit like an open cast mine and the spoil heap next to it

[Eric Mc]

It's a Clanger Midden.

I won't say "I told you!"

But I did

This is obviously a spoil heap alongside that massive open cast pit

And comparatively they have taken rather a lot out of it

I wonder what they mined there?

I wonder who they are, no doubt they'll tell us when they are ready





Anyway

As I said it, where do I put in my claim for the fiver?

[Halmyre]

Is that what you would get if a meteorite hit at an angle? Push up a mound of regolith which would weather way, even on Ceres, faster than the crater would fill in...

...nah, who am I kidding, it's aliens digging a pit for a massive gun...

[Eric Mc]

It would be funny if those entrepreneurs who are planning on asteroid mining as a venture arrive at an asteroid and find that all the useful minerals have already been extracted.

[perdu]

You can also be certain that Richard Hoagland will find alien artefacts and infrastructure, then accuse NASA of faking and/or covering up subsequent images.

The woo is strong in that one.

A giant bubble of water in space but a bit dusty?

[durbster]

That looks remarkably similar to a place we saw in Australia known locally as the White Blow:

It's just a big blob of quartz that's popped out of the Earth like a big pimple.

Amusingly the photos of Ceres are of a significantly higher resolution than this area of Queensland on Google Maps. Priorities.

Mystery solved. It's millions of unsold copies of Jeremy Clarkson's autobiography dumped into space by the publishers to try to hide their shame.
