On March 6, 2015, NASA's Dawn spacecraft began orbiting Ceres, the largest body in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and the first dwarf planet discovered.
Even before the spacecraft arrived at its new solar system address, images revealed mysterious bright spots that captivated scientists and observers alike.
Until Dawn gets a closer look over the next few months, it's anyone's guess what those spots could be. So, go ahead. Cast your vote, and see how it stacks up!
