Evidence of a landslide, bright features and a "hidden treasure" are on brilliant display in new NASA photos of the dwarf planet Ceres.*
The new images were taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft (http://mashable.com/2016/01/29/dawn-ceres-nasa-animation/) from*its lowest orbit around Ceres yet, about 240 miles above the world's surface.*
The photos show the aftermath of a possible landslide on the rim of Haulani Crater, which NASA said is likely a relatively new crater.

"Haulani perfectly displays the properties we would expect from a fresh impact into the surface of Ceres," Martin Hoffmann, Dawn scientist, said in a statement (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2016-106).* Read more... (http://mashable.com/2016/04/19/nasa-photos-dwarf-planet-ceres/)
