Astronomers think the bright spots inside its walls formed when a space rock smashed into the dwarf planet, excavating a briny liquid from below. (Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA)Near the end of its mission, NASA's Dawn spacecraft captured intimate details of the mysterious white spots of Occator Crater in a region called Cerealia Facula.

Scientists think that the impact may have excavated salty water from an ancient pocket of ocean hiding beneath the crater.
